Jeremiah 49:1-5

1Of the children of AmmonH5983. ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Hath IsraelH3478 no sonsH1121? hath he no heir? whyH4069 then doth Malcam possessH3423 GadH1410, and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof?

2ThereforeH3651, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that I will cause an alarmH8643 of warH4421 to beH1961 heardH8085 against RabbahH7237 of the children of AmmonH5983; and it shall becomeH1961 a desolate heap, and her daughtersH1323 shall beH1961 burnedH3341 with fireH784: then shall IsraelH3478 possessH3423 them that did possessH3423 him, saith Jehovah.

3WailH3213, O HeshbonH2809, for Ai is laid waste; cryH6817, ye daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237, girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242: lamentH5594, and run to and fro among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.

4Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleysH6010, thy flowingH2100 valleyH6010, O backsliding daughterH1323? that trustedH982 in her treasuresH214, saying, Who shall comeH935 unto me?

5Behold, I will bringH935 a fearH6343 upon thee, saith the LordH136, Jehovah of hostsH6635, from all that are roundH5439 about thee; and ye shall be drivenH5080 out every manH376 right forth, and there shall be none to gatherH6908 togetherH6908 the fugitivesH5074.
