READ IN CONTEXT · BSB

Jeremiah 48

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.”

40 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.

41 Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
