Jeremiah 48:36-38

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁶ Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the people of Kir-heres, for the riches they gained have perished.^(A)

³⁷ For every head is shaved and every beard cut off; on all the hands there are gashes and on the loins sackcloth.^{(B) 38} On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel that no one wants, says the Lord.^(C)
