³¹ they ^(A)make themselves bald for you
    and put sackcloth on their waist,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
    with bitter mourning.

⁹ Therefore ^(A)I weep with ^(B)the weeping of Jazer
    for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
    O Heshbon and Elealeh;
for over ^(C)your summer fruit and your harvest
    the shout has ceased.

² He has gone up to the temple,^[a] and to ^(A)Dibon,
    to the high places^[b] to weep;
over ^(B)Nebo and over ^(C)Medeba
    Moab ^(D)wails.
On every head is ^(E)baldness;
    every beard is shorn;

⁴ Therefore I said:
“Look away from me;
    ^(A)let me weep bitter tears;
do not labor to comfort me
    concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

^16 (A)Make yourselves bald and cut off your hair,
    for the children of your delight;
^(B)make yourselves as bald as the eagle,
    for they shall go from you into exile.

^10 (A)I will turn your feasts into mourning
    and all your songs into lamentation;
^(B)I will bring sackcloth on every waist
    ^(C)and baldness on every head;
^(D)I will make it like the mourning for an only son
    and the end of it like a bitter day.
