In context

35And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.

36Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what every man has gained has perished from him.

— Jeremiah 31:37 —

38And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets shall be mourning: for I have broken him, saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
