Jeremiah 48:39 in context

Jeremiah 48:36–42

36

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.

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.”

and will spread out his wings against Moab.

Kerioth is taken,

and the strongholds are seized.

The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day

will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Moab will be destroyed from being a people,

because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
