He has gone up to the temple, and to Dibon,

they all wail,

prostrate with weeping.

falling down and weeping.

NLTNew Living Translation

Your people will go to their temple in Dibon to mourn.

They will go to their sacred shrines to weep.

From every home and public square will come the sound of wailing.

and Moab wails over Medeba.

Every head is bald,

every beard is shaved.

They gird themselves with sackcloth in its streets;

on its roofs and public squares everyone wails,

going down in weeping.

He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep:

Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba:

On all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off.

In their streets they shall gird themselves with sackcloth:

On the tops of their houses, and in their streets,

Every one shall howl, weeping abundantly.
