They have gone up to the ^(a)temple and to ^(A)Dibon, even to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is ^(B)bald and every beard is cut off.

In their streets they have girded themselves with ^(C)sackcloth;
^(D)On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, ^(b)^(E)dissolved in tears.

^(F)Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out,
Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz;
Therefore the ^(c)armed men of Moab cry aloud;
His soul trembles within him.

My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as ^(G)Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ^(H)ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress ^(I)over their ruin.
