A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and the wailing of the leader of the flock,
for the LORD destroys their pasture.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Jeremiah 25:36 in context
Jeremiah 25:33–38
33
The slain of the LORD will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
34
Wail, you shepherds, and cry.
Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock;
for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come,
and you will fall like fine pottery.
35
The shepherds will have no way to flee.
The leader of the flock will have no escape.
36
Selected verse
A voice of the cry of the shepherds,
and the wailing of the leader of the flock,
for the LORD destroys their pasture.
37
The peaceful folds are brought to silence
because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
38
He has left his covert, as the lion;
for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression,
and because of his fierce anger.
