A Message Concerning Moab

35 Moreover, I will make Moab cease, sayeth the LORD, from the offerings and censing that she hath made unto her gods in high places. 36 Wherefore my heart mourneth for Moab, like a crowd playing a heavy song: and for the men's sake of the brick wall my heart mourneth also, even as a pipe that pipeth a doleful song. For they shall be very few, and destroyed. 37 All heads shall be shaven, and all beards clipped off: all hands bound, and all loins girded about with sack cloth.
