Jeremias 48:35-41 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

35. And I will take away from Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and that sacrificeth to his gods.

36. Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes: and my heart a sound like pipes for the men of the brick wall: because he hath done more than he could, therefore they have perished.

37. For every head shall be bald, and every beard shall be shaven: all hands shall be tied together, and upon every back there shall be haircloth.

38. Upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof general mourning: because I have broken Moab as an useless vessel, saith the Lord.

39. How is it overthrown, and they have howled! How hath Moab bowed down the neck, and is confounded! And Moab shall be a derision, and an example to all round about him.

40. Thus saith the Lord: Behold he shall fly as an eagle, and shall stretch forth his wings to Moab.

41. Carioth is taken, and the strong holds are won: and the heart of the valiant men of Moab in that day shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
