36 “So my heart laments(A) for Moab like the music of a pipe;
    it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.(B)
    The wealth they acquired(C) is gone.
37 Every head is shaved(D)
    and every beard(E) cut off;
every hand is slashed
    and every waist is covered with sackcloth.(F)
38 On all the roofs in Moab

    like a jar(H) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
