Jeremiah 48:36 in context

Jeremiah 48:33–39

33

Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field

and from the land of Moab.

I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses.

No one will tread with shouting.

The shouting will be no shouting.

34

From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh,

even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice,

from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah;

for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate.

35

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the LORD,

“him who offers in the high place,

and him who burns incense to his gods.

36
Selected verse

Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like flutes,

and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres.

Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.

37

For every head is bald,

and every beard clipped.

There are cuttings on all the hands,

and sackcloth on the waist.

38

On all the housetops of Moab,

and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere;

for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.

39

“How it is broken down!

How they wail!

How Moab has turned the back with shame!

So will Moab become a derision

and a terror to all who are around him.”
