33 “And those slain by the Lord on that day shall extend from one end of the earth to the other. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.

34 “Wail, you shepherds, and cry,
    and roll in ashes, you lords of the flock,
for the days of your slaughter and dispersion have come,
    and you shall fall like choice rams.[a]
35 No refuge will remain for the shepherds,
    nor escape for the lords of the flock.

    roll(E) in the dust, you leaders of the flock.
For your time to be slaughtered(F) has come;

35 The shepherds will have nowhere to flee,
    the leaders of the flock no place to escape.(H)
