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. 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.
The verse belongs to Jeremiah's prophecies pronouncing doom on the kingdoms surrounding Israel, including Moab. Within that group it falls in Jeremiah 46-51, the prophecies against foreign nations, a section especially concerned with Babylon. It declares that lamentation will be general upon all the housetops of Moab and in its streets, because the Lord has broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, a useless and discarded vessel. It presents Moab's shattering and the resulting lamentation as God's judgment upon Moab.
