Jeremiah 48:35-37
The Message
Jeremiah 48:35-37
The Message
35 “I will put a stop in Moab”—God’s Decree—“to all hiking to the high places to offer burnt sacrifices to the gods.
36 “My heart moans for Moab, for the men of Kir-heres, like soft flute sounds carried by the wind. They’ve lost it all. They’ve got nothing.
37 “Everywhere you look are signs of mourning:
heads shaved, beards cut,
Hands scratched and bleeding,
clothes ripped and torn.
Jeremiah 48:35-37
New International Version
Jeremiah 48:35-37
New International Version
35 In Moab I will put an end
to those who make offerings on the high places(A)
and burn incense(B) to their gods,”
declares the Lord.
36 “So my heart laments(C) for Moab like the music of a pipe;
it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.(D)
The wealth they acquired(E) is gone.
37 Every head is shaved(F)
and every beard(G) cut off;
every hand is slashed
and every waist is covered with sackcloth.(H)
