Isaiah 15:2-3
2 They went up to the temple; ▼
▼tn Heb “house.”
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. ▼
▼tn Heb “even Dibon [to] the high places to weep.” The verb “went up” does double duty in the parallel structure.
Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba, ▼
▼tn Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”
Moab wails. Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off. ▼
▼sn Shaving the head and beard were outward signs of mourning and grief.
3 In their streets they wear sackcloth;
on their roofs and in their town squares
all of them wail;
they fall down weeping.
