The leaders will not be able to run away and hide. The shepherds of the flocks will not be able to escape.
Listen to the cries of anguish of the leaders. Listen to the wails of the shepherds of the flocks. They are wailing because the LORD is about to destroy their lands.
Their peaceful dwelling places will be laid waste by the fierce anger of the LORD.
The LORD is like a lion who has left his lair. So their lands will certainly be laid waste by the warfare of the oppressive nation and by the fierce anger of the LORD.”
