33 And [a]the slain of the Lord shall be at that day, from one end of the earth, even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be mourned, neither gathered nor buried, but shall be as the dung upon the ground.

34 Howl, [b]ye shepherds, and cry, and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for your days of slaughter are accomplished, and of your dispersion, and ye shall fall like [c]precious vessels.

35 And the [d]flight shall fail from the shepherds, and the escaping from the principal of the flock.
