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)
4 Heshbon^(L) and Elealeh^(M) cry out,
    their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz.^(N)
Therefore the armed men of Moab cry out,
    and their hearts are faint.

⁵ My heart cries out^(O) over Moab;^(P)
    her fugitives^(Q) flee as far as Zoar,^(R)
    as far as Eglath Shelishiyah.
They go up the hill to Luhith,
    weeping as they go;
on the road to Horonaim^(S)
    they lament their destruction.^(T)
