32 This is what the Lord All-Powerful says:
“Disasters will soon spread
    from country to country.
They will come like a powerful storm
    to all the faraway places on earth!”

33 The dead bodies of those killed by the Lord will reach from one end of the earth to the other. No one will cry for them. No one will gather up their bodies and bury them. They will be left lying on the ground like dung.

34 Shepherds, you should be leading the sheep.
    Start crying, you great leaders!
    Roll around on the ground in pain, you leaders of the sheep.
It is now time for your slaughter.
    You will be scattered everywhere, like pieces flying from a broken jar.

32 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster(A) is spreading
    from nation to nation;(B)
a mighty storm(C) is rising
    from the ends of the earth.”(D)

33 At that time those slain(E) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered(F) up or buried,(G) but will be like dung lying on the ground.

34 Weep and wail, you shepherds;(H)
    roll(I) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(J) has come;
    you will fall like the best of the rams.[a](K)
