Jeremiah 48:37-39

New International Reader's Version

³⁷ Every head is shaved.
    Every beard is cut off.
Every hand is cut.
    And every waist is covered with the clothes of sadness.
³⁸ Weeping is the only sound in Moab.
    It is heard on all its roofs.
    It is heard in the market.
I have broken Moab
    like a jar that no one wants,”
    announces the Lord.
³⁹ “How broken Moab is! How the people weep!
    They turn away from others
    because they are so ashamed.
All those around them laugh at them.
    They are shocked at them.”
