## Jeremiah 48:31-36 in Context (Verses 28–39 KJV)
 
 [28 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/28) O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove *that* maketh her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/29) We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/30) I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but *it shall* not *be* so; his lies shall not so effect *it*.*
 
 [31 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/31) Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; *mine heart* shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.
 
 [32 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/32) O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach *even* to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/33) And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; *their* shouting *shall be* no shouting.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/34) 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.*
 
 [35 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/35) 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.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/36) Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches *that* he hath gotten are perished.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/37) For every head *shall be* bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands *shall be* cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.*
 
 [38 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/38) *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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/48/39) 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.*
 
[Jeremiah 47](/kjv/jeremiah/47) [Jeremiah 49](/kjv/jeremiah/49)
