² Dibon^(A) goes up to its temple,
    to its high places^(B) to weep;
    Moab wails^(C) over Nebo^(D) and Medeba.
Every head is shaved^(E)
    and every beard cut off.^(F)
3 In the streets they wear sackcloth;^(G)
    on the roofs^(H) and in the public squares^(I)
they all wail,^(J)
    prostrate with weeping.^(K)

⁸ So put on sackcloth,^(A)
    lament^(B) and wail,
for the fierce anger^(C) of the Lord
    has not turned away from us.

³ Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim,^(A)
    cries of great havoc and destruction.
