Jeremiah 48:37
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
In context
35 In Moab, declares the LORD, I will bring an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods.
36 Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
37 For every head is shaved and every beard is clipped; on every hand is a gash, and around every waist is sackcloth.
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,” declares the LORD.
39 “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
