³¹ And they have made for thee baldness, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for thee, In bitterness of soul -- a bitter mourning.

¹⁸ And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath trembling, And unto all faces `is' shame, And on all their heads -- baldness.

¹² And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on of sackcloth,

⁴ Therefore I said, `Look ye from me, I am bitter in my weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the daughter of my people.'

² He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places -- to weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads `is' baldness, every beard cut off.

¹⁶ Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee!

⁸ For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an ostrich.

¹⁰ And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head -- baldness, And made it as a mourning `of' an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.

³⁷ For every head `is' bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins -- sackcloth.

⁵ Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself?

⁶ And died have great and small in this land, They are not buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor become bald for them.

¹ `Sons ye `are' to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;
