Dibon(A) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places(B) to weep;
    Moab wails(C) over Nebo(D) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved(E)
    and every beard cut off.(F)
In the streets they wear sackcloth;(G)
    on the roofs(H) and in the public squares(I)
they all wail,(J)
    prostrate with weeping.(K)
Heshbon(L) and Elealeh(M) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.(N)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.
