Jeremiah 25:30-38

English Standard Version

^(A)“‘The Lord will roar from on high,
    and from his holy habitation utter his voice;
he will roar mightily against his fold,
    ^(B)and shout, like those who tread grapes,
    against all the inhabitants of the earth.
³¹ The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth,
    for ^(C)the Lord has an indictment against the nations;
^(D)he is entering into judgment with all flesh,
    and the wicked he will put to the sword,
declares the Lord.’

³² “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Behold, disaster is going forth
    from nation to nation,
^(E)and a great tempest is stirring
    ^(F)from the farthest parts of the earth!

^34 (K)“Wail, ^(L)you shepherds, and cry out,
    ^(M)and roll in ashes, you lords of the flock,
for the days of your slaughter and dispersion have come,
    and you shall fall like a choice vessel.
³⁵ No refuge will remain ^(N)for the shepherds,
    nor escape for the lords of the flock.
³⁶ A voice—the cry ^(O)of the shepherds,
    ^(P)and the wail of the lords of the flock!
For the Lord is laying waste their pasture,
^{37     (Q)}and the peaceful folds are devastated
    ^(R)because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
³⁸ Like a lion ^(S)he has left his lair,
    for their land has become a waste
because of ^(T)the sword of the oppressor,
    ^(U)and because of his fierce anger.”
