“A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the Lord hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the Lord.”
The roar reaches all inhabitants of the earth and the shepherds cannot escape as God comes to contend with the nations and execute judgment. The universal reach of the divine roar parallels the universal reach of the cup. The inability of shepherds (leaders) to escape shows that power and position do not shield from judgment. The verse shows God as the ultimate judge whose verdict cannot be avoided.
