Jeremiah 48:36-38
Expanded Bible
36 “My heart ·cries sadly [wails] for Moab like a ·flute [reed-pipe; C an instrument that plays funeral songs].
It ·cries [wails] like a ·flute [reed-pipe] for the people from Kir Hareseth.
The money they made has all ·been taken away [perished].
37 Every head has been shaved
and every beard cut off.
Everyone’s hands are ·cut [gashed],
and everyone wears ·rough cloth around his waist [sackcloth; burlap; C mourning rituals].
38 People are ·crying [mourning] on every roof [C flat roofs were living space] in Moab
and in every public square.
There is nothing but ·sadness [lament],
because I have broken Moab
like a jar no one wants [19:1–13; 22:28; Ps. 2:9],” says the Lord.

Jeremiah 48:36-38
New International Version
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
and in the public squares(G)
there is nothing but mourning,
for I have broken Moab
like a jar(H) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
