Jeremiah 48:36-38
1599 Geneva Bible
36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like a [a]shawm, and mine heart shall sound like a shawm for the men of Kir Heres, because the riches that he hath gotten is perished.
37 (A)For every head shall be [b]bald, and every beard plucked: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 And mourning shall be upon all the house tops of Moab, and in all the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord.
