Isaiah 15:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 The king’s family and the people of Dibon[a] go to the places of worship[b] to cry.
The people of Moab are crying for Nebo[c] and Medeba.[d]
They have shaved their heads and beards to show their sadness.
3 Everywhere in Moab, on the housetops and in the streets,
people are wearing sackcloth.
Everyone is crying.
4 In Heshbon and Elealeh they are crying loudly.
You can hear their voices as far away as Jahaz.
Even the soldiers are frightened.
They are shaking with fear.
