Jeremiah 48:38 in Context — Jeremiah 48

36 Portanto meu coração ressoará como flautas por causa de Moab; também meu coração ressoará como flautas pelos homens de Quir-Heres; pois as riquezas que tinham acumulado se perderam;

37 Pois em toda cabeça haverá calva, e toda barba será cortada; sobre todas mãos há arranhões, e sobre todos os lombos há sacos.

38 Sobre todas os terraços de Moabe e em suas ruas, em todo ele haverá pranto; pois eu quebrantei a Moabe como a um vaso desagradável,diz o SENHOR.

39 Como foi quebrantado! Como uivam! Como Moabe virou as costas, e se envergonhou! Assim Moabe servirá de escárnio e de espanto a todos os que estão ao seu redor.

40 Pois assim diz o SENHOR: Eis que voará como águia, e estenderá suas asas sobre Moabe.
