Jeremiah 25:32–38

³²Thus saith the Lord of hosts,

Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation,

And ^aa great whirlwind ^bshall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

³³And ^cthe slain of the Lord shall be at that day

From one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth:

^dThey shall not be lamented, ^eneither gathered, ^denor buried;

^eThey shall be dung upon the ground.

^34fHowl, ^gye shepherds, and cry;

And wallow yourselves ^hin the ashes, ye principal of the flock:

For the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished.

And ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

³⁵And ^gthe shepherds shall have no way to flee,

Nor the principal of the flock to escape.

³⁶A voice of the cry of ^gthe shepherds,

And a howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard:

For the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

³⁷And ⁱthe peaceable habitations ^kare cut down

^lBecause of the fierce anger of the Lord.

³⁸He hath forsaken ^mhis covert, as ⁿthe lion:

For their land is desolate

Because of the fierceness of ^othe oppressor,

And ^lbecause of his fierce anger.
