Isaiah 15:2-3

2 They went up to the temple, ^{▼▼ Heb “house.”}
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament. ^{▼▼ 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, ^{▼▼ Heb “over [or “for”] Nebo and over [or “for”] Medeba.”} Moab wails.
Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off. ^{▼▼ 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.
