Jeremiah 48:36-38

Common English Bible

³⁶ Therefore, my heart wails for Moab
        like a mournful^[a] flute that plays the dirge;
    my heart wails for the people of Kir-heres,
        like a mournful flute.
        Their abundance is now gone.
³⁷ Every head is shaved,
    every beard is cut off,
    every hand is slashed,
    and everyone wears mourning clothes.
³⁸ On every housetop of Moab
    and in all its streets,
        there’s nothing but mourning.
I have shattered Moab
    like a pottery vessel no one wants,
        declares the Lord.
