Jeremiah 25:37–38

37 The peaceful meadows will be laid waste

because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 Like a lion he will leave his lair,

and their land will become desolate

because of the sword of the oppressor

and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion:

For their land is desolate

Because of the fierceness of the oppressor,

And because of his fierce anger.

37 Peaceful meadows will be turned into a wasteland

by the Lord’s fierce anger.

38 He has left his den like a strong lion seeking its prey,

and their land will be made desolate

by the sword of the enemy

and the Lord’s fierce anger.

37 And the peaceful dwellings are cut down

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 He has left His lair like the lion;

For their land is desolate

Because of the fierceness of the Oppressor,

And because of His fierce anger.”

37 Those peaceful pastures will be like an empty desert,

because the Lord is very angry.

38 Like a lion, he has left his den.

Their land has been destroyed

because of the terrible war he brought,

because of his fierce anger.

37 And the peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. 38 He hath left his covert, as the lion; for their land is become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword, and because of his fierce anger.

37 and the peaceable enclosures shall be desolated, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah. 38 He hath forsaken his covert as a young lion; for their land is a desolation because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.

37 The peaceful pastures are destroyed by the Lord’s burning anger. 

38 He has left his lair like a lion. 

Their land has been ruined 

because of the heat of the oppressor, 

because of the fury of his anger. 

37 Peaceful grazing land will become lifeless

because of the Lord’s burning anger.

38 He has left His den like a lion,

for their land has become a desolation

because of the sword of the oppressor,

because of His burning anger.

37 and the peaceful folds are devastated

because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 Like a lion he has left his den,

for their land has become a waste

because of the cruel anger

and because of his fierce anger.

37 And the peaceful settlements are devastated

because of the burning anger of Yahweh.

38 He has left his den like a lion,

for their land has become a horror,

because of the anger of the oppressors,

and because of his burning anger.”

37 Their peaceful meadows will be completely destroyed

because of the Lord’s burning anger.

38 Like a lion he will leave his den.

The land of those leaders will become a desert.

That’s because the sword of the Lord brings great harm.

His anger will burn against them.

37 “And the peaceful folds are made silent

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38 “He has left His hiding place like the lion;

For their land has become a horror

Because of the fierceness of the oppressing sword

And because of His fierce anger.”
