Jeremiah 25:34-36

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁴ You leaders should have been like shepherds
    to take care of my people.
But now it is time for you to weep!
    Roll on the ground in the dust!
The time of your death has arrived.
    You will lie on the ground,
    like pieces of a broken pot.
³⁵ The leaders will not be able to run away and hide.
    The shepherds of my people will not escape.
³⁶ Listen to the leaders as they weep!
    The Lord's people were like their sheep.
Now the shepherds are weeping loudly,
    because the Lord is destroying their fields.
