Gill's Notes on the Bible

For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped,.... Men, in times of mourning, used to pluck off the hairs of their head till they made them bald, and shaved their beards; which, as Kimchi says, were the glory of their faces; see Isaiah 15:2;

upon all the hands shall be cuttings: it was usual with the Heathens to make incisions in the several parts of their bodies, particularly in their hands and arms, with their nails, or with knives, in token of mourning; which are forbidden the Israelites, Deuteronomy 14:1;

and upon the loins sackcloth; this is a well known custom for mourners, to put off their clothes, and put on sackcloth; all these things are mentioned, to show how great was the mourning of Moab for the calamities of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Cuttings - Compare Jeremiah 16:6, and marginal references.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 48:37. For every head shall be bald — These, as we have seen before, were signs of the deepest distress and desolation.
