Jeremiah 48

³⁵ In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.

³⁶ Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.

³⁷ For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.

³⁸ On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,” declares the LORD.

³⁹ “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
