Jeremiah 48:37-39
International Standard Version
37 Indeed every head will be bald[a] and every beard cut short.[b] There will be gashes on all the hands[c] and sackcloth on the loins. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets there will be nothing but mourning, for I’ll break Moab like a vessel that no one wants,” declares the Lord. 39 “How it will be shattered! How they’ll wail! How Moab will turn his back in shame! Moab will be an object of ridicule and terror to all those around him.”
