Jeremiah 48:35-39

New Living Translation

³⁵ “I will put an end to Moab,” says the Lord, “for the people offer sacrifices at the pagan shrines and burn incense to their false gods. ³⁶ My heart moans like a flute for Moab and Kir-hareseth, for all their wealth has disappeared. ³⁷ The people shave their heads and beards in mourning. They slash their hands and put on clothes made of burlap. ³⁸ There is crying and sorrow in every Moabite home and on every street. For I have smashed Moab like an old, unwanted jar. ³⁹ How it is shattered! Hear the wailing! See the shame of Moab! It has become an object of ridicule, an example of ruin to all its neighbors.”
