Jeremiah 48:36-38
EasyEnglish Bible
36 So I am very sad for the people of Moab.
I weep like a flute that plays a funeral song.
I am sad for the people of Kir-Heres,
because all their riches will disappear.
37 All the men will be very upset.
They will cut the hair off their heads and their faces.
They will use knives to cut their hands.
They will wear sackcloth as their clothes.
38 People are standing on the roofs of their houses.
They are standing in the streets.
They are all crying and weeping.
They are sad because I have destroyed Moab.
I have broken it in pieces, like a jar that I no longer want.’
That is what the Lord says.

New International Version
Jeremiah 48:36-38
New International Version
36 “So my heart laments(A) for Moab like the music of a pipe;
it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.(B)
The wealth they acquired(C) is gone.
37 Every head is shaved(D)
and every beard(E) cut off;
every hand is slashed
and every waist is covered with sackcloth.(F)
38 On all the roofs in Moab
and in the public squares(G)
there is nothing but mourning,
for I have broken Moab
like a jar(H) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
