"[Hear] the soundof the cryof the shepherds,And the wailingof the mastersof the flock!For the LORDis destroyingtheir pasture,
May an outcrybe heardfrom their houses,WhenYou suddenlybringraidersupon them; For they have duga pitto captureme And hiddensnaresfor my feet.
"Wail,you shepherds,and cry;And wallow[in ashes], you mastersof the flock;For the daysof your slaughterand your dispersionshave come,And you will falllike a choicevessel.
"Flightwill perishfrom the shepherds,And escapefrom the mastersof the flock.
"And the peacefulfoldsare madesilentBecauseof the fierceangerof the LORD.
"For this,puton sackcloth,Lamentand wail;For the fierceangerof the LORDHas not turnedbackfrom us."
There is a soundof the shepherds'wail,For their gloryis ruined;There is a soundof the younglions'roar,For the prideof the Jordanis ruined.
