A Message Concerning Moab

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. 38 Upon all the housetops and streets of Moab, there shall be mourning: For I will break Moab like an unprofitable vessel sayeth the LORD.
