Context of Jeremiah 25:33

31People everywhere will hear his message. The Lord will accuse the nations of their sins, and he will judge all the people on the earth. He will send war to kill all the wicked people.” That is what the Lord says. 32The Lord Almighty also says this: “Listen to me! Great trouble will come to every single nation. War will come like a great storm from the ends of the earth.” At that time, dead bodies will lie everywhere, all over the earth. Those will be people that the Lord has killed. Nobody will weep for them. Nobody will take their bodies to bury them in the ground. Their dead bodies will lie on the ground like dung. 34You leaders should have been like shepherds to take care of my people. But now it is time for you to weep! Roll on the ground in the dust! The time of your death has arrived. You will lie on the ground, like pieces of a broken pot. 35The leaders will not be able to run away and hide. The shepherds of my people will not escape.
