Everyone in Dibon has gone up
to the temple[a] and the shrines
    to cry and weep.
All of Moab is crying.
Heads and beards are shaved[b]
    because of what happened
    at Nebo and Medeba.
In the towns and at home,
everyone wears sackcloth
    and cries loud and long.
From Heshbon and Elealeh,
    weeping is heard in Jahaz;
Moab's warriors scream
    while trembling with fear.
