33 The slain of the Lord on that day will be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They will not be lamented or gathered or buried. They will be as dung on the ground.

34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry;
    and wallow in the ashes, you leaders of the flock.

    and you will fall like a choice vessel.
35 The shepherds will have no way to flee,
    nor the leaders of the flock to escape.

    roll(E) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(F) has come;
    you will fall like the best of the rams.[a](G)
35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
    the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(H)
