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.”
40. For thus says the Lord:“Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab;
41. the cities shall be takenand the strongholds seized. The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that daylike the heart of a woman in her birth pains;
42. Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people,because he magnified himself against the Lord.
