ESVEnglish Standard Version

A voice—the cry of the shepherds,

and the wail of the lords of the flock!

For the Lord is laying waste their pasture,

and the peaceful folds are devastated

because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

Like a lion he has left his lair,

for their land has become a waste

because of the sword of the oppressor,

and because of his fierce anger.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Hear the sound of the shepherds’ cry,

the wail of the leaders of the flock,

for the Lord is destroying their pasture.

Peaceful grazing land will become lifeless

because of the Lord’s burning anger.

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

Listen to the frantic cries of the shepherds.

The leaders of the flock are wailing in despair,

for the Lord is ruining their pastures.

Peaceful meadows will be turned into a wasteland

by the Lord’s fierce anger.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

A sound, the cry of distress of the shepherds

and the wailing of the leaders of the flock,

for Yahweh is despoiling their pasture.

And the peaceful settlements are devastated

because of the burning anger of Yahweh.

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.”

KJV 1900King James Version

A voice of the cry of the shepherds,

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

For the Lord hath spoiled their pasture.

And the peaceable habitations are cut down

Because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

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.
