Jeremiah

³⁵Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods. ³⁶Therefore mine heart soundeth for Moab like pipes, and mine heart soundeth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished. ³⁷For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. ³⁸On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. ³⁹How is it broken down! how do they howl! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab become a derision and a dismaying to all that are round about him. ⁴⁰For thus saith the Lord: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab. ⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
