Isaiah 15:2-4
International Children’s Bible
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.
Everyone has shaved his head and beard to show how sad he is.
3 In the streets at Moab 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 from fear.
