God’s Message to Moab
15 This is a message about Moab:
In one night armies took the wealth from Ar in Moab,
and it was destroyed.
In one night armies took the wealth from Kir in Moab,
and it was destroyed.
2 The people of Dibon go to the places of worship to cry.
The people of Moab cry for the cities of Nebo and Medeba.
Every head and beard has been shaved to show how sad Moab is.
3 In the streets they wear rough cloth to show their sadness.
On the roofs[a] and in the public squares,
they are crying loudly.
Footnotes
- 15:3 roofs In Bible times houses were built with flat roofs. The roof was used for drying things such as flax and fruit. And it was used as an extra room, as a place for worship, and as a cool place to sleep in the summer.
