Jeremiah 48:35-39 English Standard Version (ESV)

35. And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the Lord, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.

36. Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.

37. “For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist 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, declares 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 around him.”
