Isaiah 15:3-5
New Century Version
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.
4 People in the cities Heshbon and Elealeh cry out loud.
You can hear their voices far away in the city Jahaz.
Even the soldiers are frightened;
they are shaking with fear.
5 My heart cries with sorrow for Moab.
Its people run away to Zoar for safety;
they run to Eglath Shelishiyah.
People are going up the mountain road to Luhith,
crying as they go.
People are going on the road to Horonaim,
crying over their destruction.

- 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.
