Jeremiah 48:36-38
International Standard Version
36 Therefore my heart wails for Moab like flutes[a] and my heart wails for the men of Kir-heres like flutes. Therefore they’ll lose the abundance they produced. 37 Indeed every head will be bald[b] and every beard cut short.[c] There will be gashes on all the hands[d] and sackcloth on the loins. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets there will be nothing but mourning, for I’ll break Moab like a vessel that no one wants,” declares the Lord.
