The Leaders of Judah Will Be Punished

34 The Lord's people are his flock,
and you leaders
    were the shepherds.
But now it's your turn
    to be butchered like sheep.
You'll shatter like fine pottery
    dropped on the floor.[a]
So roll on the ground,
    crying and mourning.
35 You have nowhere to run,
    nowhere to hide.

* 36-37 Listen to the cries
    of the shepherds,
as the Lord's burning anger
turns[b] peaceful meadows
    into barren deserts.
