¹⁰ I will weep and wail for the mountains
    and take up a lament concerning the wilderness grasslands.^(A)
They are desolate and untraveled,
    and the lowing of cattle is not heard.
The birds^(B) have all fled
    and the animals are gone.

¹⁰ The land is full of adulterers;^(A)
    because of the curse^[a](B) the land lies parched
    and the pastures^(C) in the wilderness are withered.^(D)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

“‘The Lord will roar^(A) from on high;
    he will thunder^(B) from his holy dwelling^(C)
    and roar mightily against his land.
He will shout like those who tread^(D) the grapes,
    shout against all who live on the earth.
³¹ The tumult^(E) will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for the Lord will bring charges^(F) against the nations;
he will bring judgment^(G) on all^(H) mankind
    and put the wicked to the sword,^(I)’”
declares the Lord.

“Look! Disaster^(J) is spreading
    from nation to nation;^(K)
a mighty storm^(L) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”^(M)

³⁴ Weep and wail, you shepherds;^(Q)
    roll^(R) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered^(S) has come;
    you will fall like the best of the rams.^[a](T)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
    the leaders of the flock no place to escape.^(U)
36 Hear the cry^(V) of the shepherds,^(W)
    the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
    for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
³⁷ The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
³⁸ Like a lion^(X) he will leave his lair,
    and their land will become desolate^(Y)
because of the sword^[b] of the oppressor^(Z)
    and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.^(AA)
