Isaiah 15:2-4
Names of God Bible
2 The people of Dibon go to the temple,
to the worship sites, to cry.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba.
Every head is shaved bald, and every beard is cut off.[a]
3 In their streets they wear sackcloth.
On their roofs and in their city squares everyone wails and cries.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out.
Their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.
Moab’s armed men cry out.
Their courage is gone.
