New Testament

Jeremiah 48:37-42 King James Version (KJV)

37. For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

38. There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord.

39. They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

40. For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

41. Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42. And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the Lord.
