Jeremiah 48:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ “Like a flute my heart sings a song of sadness for Moab.
    It sings like a flute for the people of Kir Hareseth.
    The wealth they had acquired is gone.
³⁷ Every head is shaved.
    Every beard is cut off.
Every hand is cut.
    And every waist is covered with the clothes of sadness.
³⁸ Weeping is the only sound in Moab.
    It is heard on all its roofs.
    It is heard in the market.
I have broken Moab
    like a jar that no one wants,”
    announces the Lord.
