[a]He shall go up to the Temple, and to Dibon to the high places to weep: for [b]Nebo and for Medeba shall Moab howl: upon all [c]their heads shall be baldness, and every beard shaven.

In their streets shall they be girded with sackcloth: on the tops of their houses, and in their streets everyone shall howl, and come down with weeping.

And Heshbon shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard unto Jahaz: therefore the warriors of Moab shall shout: the soul of everyone shall lament in himself.
