³³And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.

³⁴Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.

³⁵And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.

³⁶A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.

³⁷And the fields of peace have been silent because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

³⁸He hath forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
