Jeremiah 25:32-38 ▼

32 Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, evil is going forth From nation to nation, And a great storm is being stirred up From the remotest parts of the earth.

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

34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; And roll yourselves in ashes, you masters of the flock; For the days of your slaughter and your scatterings are being fulfilled, And you will fall like a desirable vessel.

35 Refuge will perish from the shepherds And escape from the mighty ones of the flock.

36 Hear the sound of the cry of the shepherds, And the wailing of the mighty ones of the flock! For Yahweh is destroying their pasture,

37 And the peaceful pastures are made silent Because of the burning anger of Yahweh.

38 He has forsaken His hiding place like the lion; For their land has become an object of horror Because of the burning desire of the oppressor And because of His burning anger.”
