Jeremiah 48:35-37

Common English Bible

³⁵     I’ll put an end to Moab,
        declares the Lord,
        for making offerings on the shrines,
            and worshipping their gods.

³⁶ Therefore, my heart wails for Moab
        like a mournful^[a] flute that plays the dirge;
    my heart wails for the people of Kir-heres,
        like a mournful flute.
        Their abundance is now gone.
³⁷ Every head is shaved,
    every beard is cut off,
    every hand is slashed,
    and everyone wears mourning clothes.
