He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon,
    to the high places to weep;
over Nebo and over Medeba
    Moab wails.
His head is completely[a] bald,
    and[b] every beard is shaved off.
In its streets they wear sackcloth;
    on its rooftops and in its squares
        everyone wails and falls down[c] weeping.

    their voices are heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the loins[d] of Moab cry aloud;
    its heart quakes for itself.
