^2 [a]The people have gone up to the ^[b]temple and to ^(A)Dibon, to the high places to weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba;
Everyone’s head is ^(B)bald and every beard is cut off.

² “Raise your eyes to the ^(A)bare heights and see;
Where have you not been violated?
You have ^(B)sat for them by the roads
Like an Arab in the desert,
And you have ^(C)defiled a land
With your prostitution and your wickedness.

^29 (A)Cut off ^[a]your hair and throw it away,
And ^(B)take up a song of mourning on the bare heights;
For the Lord has ^(C)rejected and forsaken
The generation of His wrath.’
