35 And I will cause to disappear for Moab,” declares[a] Yahweh,
    the one who presents a sacrifice at a high place,
    and the one who burns a smoke offering to his gods.
36 Therefore[b] my heart moans for Moab like the flute.[c]
    It moans for the people[d] of Kir-heres like the flute.[e]
    Therefore[f] the wealth they gained has perished.
37 For on every head is baldness,
    and every beard is trimmed.
On all the hands, slashes,
    and on the loins, sackcloth.
