32 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:

“Disasters will soon ·spread [L go out]
    from nation to nation.
They will come like a powerful storm
    from the faraway places on earth.”

33 At that time those killed by the Lord will reach from one end of the earth to the other. No one will ·cry [mourn] for them or gather up their bodies and bury them. They will be left lying on the ground like dung [8:2; 9:22; 16:4].

34 Cry, you ·leaders [L shepherds]! Cry out loud!
    Roll around in the ·dust [ashes], ·leaders of the people [L nobles of the flock]!
·It is now time for you to be killed [L Your days are filled for slaughter].
    You will fall and be scattered,
    like ·pieces of a broken [L a choice/precious] 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)
