He will roar mightily against His pasture; He will shout like those who tread grapes, shouting aloud against all the inhabitants of the earth.' 31 The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD has a case against the nations.

Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock, for your time to be slaughtered has come. You will fall like a precious vessel. 35 The shepherds will have no refuge, and the leaders of the flock will find no escape. 36 Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture. 37 The peaceful pastures will be silent because of the LORD's fierce anger. 38 Like a lion leaving its lair, He has left His den, for their land has become a desolation because of the oppressor's wrath and the LORD's fierce anger.
