They have gone up to Bayith, and to Dibon, to the high places, to weep. Moab wails over Nebo, and over Medeba. On all their heads is baldness. Every beard is cut off.

In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth. On their housetops, and in their broad places, everyone wails, weeping abundantly.

In that day their strong cities shall be as the forsaken places in the woodland and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from before the sons of Israel, and it shall be a desolation.

Then the lambs shall feed as in their pasture, and wanderers shall eat the waste places of the fat ones.

and LORD has removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.

And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
