According to Jeremiah, God feels very sad for the people of Moab, as if playing a sad song on a flute, because all the wealth they have is gone. It's like when someone loses everything they have, and it makes others feel sorry for them.

Contradiction with Proverbs 18:2

This verse highlights how a fool has no delight in understanding, but in expressing his own heart, contrasting with Jeremiah 48:36, which describes a heart in mourning for Moab, showing deep understanding and compassion.

Proverbs 18:2: A fool hath no delight in understanding, but that his heart may discover itself.

Indicates that going to the house of mourning is better than going to the house of feasting, which contrasts the tone in Jeremiah 48:36 of lament for Moab not as a choice but a consequence.

Instructs believers to rejoice in the Lord always, which is opposite to the mourning expressed in Jeremiah 48:36.

Philippians 4:4: Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say, Rejoice.

Advises not to let hearts be troubled and to trust in God, conflicting with the expression of heart-rending lamentation in Jeremiah 48:36.
