Wail, you shepherds, and cry out;roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock.For the days of your slaughter have come;you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
O daughter of my people,dress yourselves in sackcloth and roll in ashes.Mourn with bitter wailing,as you would for an only son,for suddenly the destroyerwill come upon us.
Do not tell it in Gath; do not weep at all.Roll in the dust in Beth-leaphrah.
