Isaiah 15:2-4
Common English Bible
2 Dibon has gone up to the temple, to the shrines to weep.[a]
Moab wails over Nebo and over Medeba.
Every head is shaved,
every beard cut off.
3 In its streets they wear mourning clothes;
on its rooftops and in its plazas, everyone wails and falls down weeping.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh cry out;
as far as Jahaz their voice is heard.
The armed men of Moab shout,
spirits trembling.

New King James Version
2 He has gone up to the [a]temple and Dibon,
To the high places to weep.
Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba;
(A)On all their heads will be baldness,
And every beard cut off.
3 In their streets they will clothe themselves with sackcloth;
On the tops of their houses
And in their streets
Everyone will wail, (B)weeping bitterly.
4 Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out,
Their voice shall be heard as far as (C)Jahaz;
Therefore the [b]armed soldiers of Moab will cry out;
His life will be burdensome to him.
