37. For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38. On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.
39. How is it broken down! how do they howl! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a dismaying to all that are round about him.
40. For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41. Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42. And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.
43. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
