Jeremiah 48:38-39

48:38 On all the housetops in Moab

and in all its public squares

there will be nothing but mourning.

For I will break Moab like an unwanted jar.

I, the Lord, affirm it! ¹ 

48:39 Oh, how shattered Moab will be!

Oh, how her people will wail!

Oh, how she will turn away ²  in shame!

Moab will become an object of ridicule,

a terrifying sight to all the nations that surround her.”

[48:38]  ¹ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

[48:39]  ² tn Heb “turn her back.”
