Like pipes - A wind instrument, used at funerals Matthew 9:23.
The riches that he hath gotten - literally, "that which remains over, a superfluity."
34 “Froma the cry of Heshbon to bElealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
cFrom Zoar to Horonaim,
Like1 a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
They have uttered their voice,
cFrom Zoar to Horonaim,
Like1 a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
35 “Moreover,” says the Lord,
“I will cause to cease in Moab
aThe one who offers sacrifices in the1 high places
And burns incense to his gods.
“I will cause to cease in Moab
aThe one who offers sacrifices in the1 high places
And burns incense to his gods.
36 Therefore aMy heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore bthe riches they have acquired have perished.
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore bthe riches they have acquired have perished.
37 “For aevery head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and bon the loins sackcloth—
On all the hands shall be cuts, and bon the loins sackcloth—
38 A general lamentation
On all the ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have bbroken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord.
On all the ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
