The daughter of Dibon[a] has gone up
    to the high places to weep;
over Nebo and over Med′eba
    Moab wails.
On every head is baldness,
    every beard is shorn;
in the streets they gird on sackcloth;
    on the housetops and in the squares
    every one wails and melts in tears.
Heshbon and Elea′leh cry out,
    their voice is heard as far as Jahaz;
therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud;
    his soul trembles.
