Jeremiah 48:35 — Meaning and Application

From the cry of Heshbon {even} unto Elealeh, {and even} unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar {even} unto Horonaim, {as} an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. {desolate: Heb. desolations}

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.

Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches {that} he hath gotten are perished.

For every head {shall be} bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands {shall be} cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. {clipped: Heb. diminished}
