³ As for you, Lord, you know me; you see me.^(A)
You test whether my heart is with you.^(B)
Drag the wicked away like sheep to slaughter^(C)
and set them apart for the day of killing.

³⁴ Wail, you shepherds, and cry out.
Roll in the dust,^(A) you leaders of the flock.
Because the days of your slaughter have come,^(B)
you will fall and become shattered like a precious vase.
