Jeremiah 25:31-37

New International Version

³¹The tumult^(A) will resound to the ends of the earth,
for the Lord will bring charges^(B) against the nations;
he will bring judgment^(C) on all^(D) mankind
and put the wicked to the sword,^(E)’”
declares the Lord.

³²This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Look! Disaster^(F) is spreading
from nation to nation;^(G)
a mighty storm^(H) is rising
from the ends of the earth.”^(I)

³³At that time those slain^(J) by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered^(K) up or buried,^(L) but will be like dung lying on the ground.

³⁴Weep and wail, you shepherds;^(M)
    roll^(N) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered^(O) has come;
    you will fall like the best of the rams.^[a]^(P)
³⁵The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
    the leaders of the flock no place to escape.^(Q)
³⁶Hear the cry^(R) of the shepherds,^(S)
    the wailing of the leaders of the flock,
    for the Lord is destroying their pasture.
³⁷The peaceful meadows will be laid waste
    because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
