33 At that time those the Lord kills will be lying around everywhere. They will be found from one end of the earth to the other. No one will mourn for them. Their dead bodies will not be gathered up or buried. Instead, they will be like human waste lying there on the ground.

34 Weep and cry, you shepherds.
    Roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.

    You will fall like the best of the rams.
35 The shepherds won’t have any place to run to.
    The leaders of the flock won’t be able to escape.
