Jeremiah 48:37-39

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁷ “For every head is shaved and every beard cut off; upon all the hands are gashes, and on the loins is sackcloth. ³⁸ On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel for which no one cares, says the Lord. ³⁹ How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all that are round about him.”
