36     Listen to the sound—the cry of the shepherds,
        the wailing of the leaders of the flock!
    The Eternal is ruining their pleasant pastures.
37     Their peaceful meadows are now deathly silent,
        for the fierce anger of the Eternal has blown through.
38     Like a lion leaving his lair, so He has left His,
        for their land has become a horror—
    Kindled by the enemy’s hot anger
        and the burning fury of the Eternal.

    and their land will become desolate(D)
because of the sword[a] of the oppressor(E)
    and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.(F)
