Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 36, 37. - The prophet seems in his spirit to hear the lamentation to which in ver. 34 he summoned the "shepherds." A voice of the cry should be, Hark I the cry (omitting "shall be heard"); the clause is an exclamation. Hath spoiled; rather, is spoiling (or, laying waste). The peaceable habitations; rather, the peaceful fields (or, pastures). Are cut down; rather, are destroyed; literally, are brought to silence (comp. Jeremiah 9:10).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(36) A voice of the cry . . . shall be heard.--Here again the insertion of the words in italics is a change for the worse, and reduces the dramatic vividness of the Hebrew to the tamest prose. The prophet speaks as if he actually heard the "cry of the shepherds"--i.e., the princes--and the howling of the "principal of the flocks"--i.e., of the captains under them. The work of spoiling was begun.
