Jeremiah 25:32-38

32This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”

33At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground.

34Weep and wail, you shepherds; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For your time to be slaughtered has come; you will fall like the best of the rams.

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

36Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the Lord is destroying their pasture.

37The peaceful meadows will be laid waste because of the fierce anger of the Lord.

38Like a lion he will leave his lair, and their land will become desolate because of the sword of the oppressor and because of the Lord’s fierce anger.
