³⁶ “I am very sad for Moab. My heart cries like the sad sound of a flute playing a funeral song. I am sad for the people from Kir Hareseth. Their money and riches have all been taken away. ³⁷ Everyone has a shaved head. Everyone’s beard is cut off. Everyone’s hands are cut and bleeding.^[a] Everyone is wearing sackcloth around their waists. ³⁸ People are crying for the dead everywhere in Moab—on every housetop and in every public square. There is sadness because I have broken Moab like an empty jar.” This is what the Lord said.
