Jeremiah 48:36-38

Expanded Bible

³⁶ “My heart ·cries sadly [wails] for Moab like a ·flute [reed-pipe; ^Can 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; ^Cmourning rituals].
³⁸ People are ·crying [mourning] on every roof [^Cflat 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.
