37 For every head shall be bald, and every beard shall be shaven: all hands shall be tied together, and upon every back there shall be haircloth.

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)

37 Every head is shaved(D)
    and every beard(E) cut off;
every hand is slashed
    and every waist is covered with sackcloth.(F)
