² Dibon went up to its temple
to weep at its high places.
Moab wails on Nebo and at^[a] Medeba.
Every head is shaved;
every beard is chopped short.
³ In its streets they wear sackcloth;
on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails,
falling down and weeping.

⁵ Baldness^(A) is coming to Gaza;
Ashkelon will become silent.^(B)
Remnant of their valley,
how long will you gash yourself?
