2He has gone up to the temple, and Dibon to the high places, to weep. Over Nebo and over Medeba Moab wails; on every head is baldness, every beard is cut off.

3In its streets they put on sackcloth; on its rooftops and in its squares everyone wails, going down in weeping.

4Heshbon and Elealeh cry out; their voice is heard as far as Jahaz. Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out; his soul trembles within him.
