Context of Jeremiah 48:35

33People will no longer be happy in the land where this fruit grows. I will stop them making wine from their grapes. They will not stamp on their grapes and shout with joy. Instead, the shouts will be shouts about trouble. 34In Heshbon and Elealeh people cry out because of their pain. The noise reaches as far as Jahaz. It reaches from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-Shelishiyah. Even the Nimrim river has become dry.’ The Lord says this: ‘I will remove the people of Moab who worship other gods. They offer sacrifices to them and they burn incense at their altars. 36So I am very sad for the people of Moab. I weep like a flute that plays a funeral song. I am sad for the people of Kir-Heres, because all their riches will disappear. 37All the men will be very upset. They will cut the hair off their heads and their faces. They will use knives to cut their hands. They will wear sackcloth as their clothes.
