Jeremiah 25:32–38

³²Thus says Yahweh of hosts,

“Behold, evil is going forth

From ^anation to nation,

And a great ^bstorm is being stirred up

From the remotest parts of the earth.

³³“Those ^aslain by Yahweh on that day will be from one end of the earth to the ¹other. They will ^bnot be lamented, gathered, or buried; they will be like ^cdung on the face of the ground.

³⁴“Wail, you shepherds, and cry out;

And ^aroll yourselves in ashes, you masters of the flock;

For the days of your ^bslaughter and your scatterings are being fulfilled,

And you will fall like a desirable vessel.

³⁵“^aRefuge will perish from the shepherds

And escape from the mighty ones of the flock.

³⁶“Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds,

And the wailing of the mighty ones of the flock!

For Yahweh is destroying their pasture,

³⁷And the peaceful ^apastures are made silent

Because of the ^bburning anger of Yahweh.

³⁸“He has forsaken His hiding place ^alike the lion;

For their land has become an object of horror

Because of the burning desire of ¹the oppressor

And because of His burning anger.”
