32 ‘This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:
    “Look, disaster is going from nation to nation,
a great storm is being stirred up
    from the most distant parts of the earth.

33 “Those slain by the Lord on that day will extend[a] from one end of the earth to the other. They won’t be mourned for or gathered up or buried. They’ll be like dung on the surface of the ground.

    Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock!
Indeed, the time for your slaughter
    and your dispersion has arrived,
        and you will break like a choice vessel.

    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)

    you will fall like the best of the rams.[a](K)
