33 Those slain by Adonai on that day will be from one end of the earth to the other end of the earth. They will not be lamented, gathered, or buried; they will be dung on the surface of the ground.”

nor the leaders of the flock to escape.

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