³ “Wail, Heshbon,^(A) for Ai^(B) is destroyed!
    Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth^(C) and mourn;
    rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek^(D) will go into exile,^(E)
    together with his priests and officials.

¹⁰ The elders of Daughter Zion
    sit on the ground in silence;^(A)
they have sprinkled dust^(B) on their heads^(C)
    and put on sackcloth.^(D)
The young women of Jerusalem
    have bowed their heads to the ground.^(E)

⁸ So put on sackcloth,^(A)
    lament^(B) and wail,
for the fierce anger^(C) of the Lord
    has not turned away from us.
