Jeremiah 49:1-6
1Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says:
“Has Israel no sons?Is he without heir?Why then has Milcom1 taken possession of Gad?Why have his people settled in their cities?2Therefore, behold, the days are coming,declares the LORD,when I will sound the battle cryagainst Rabbah of the Ammonites.It will become a heap of ruins,and its villages will be burned.Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors,says the LORD.3Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed;cry out, O daughters of Rabbah!Put on sackcloth and mourn;run back and forth within your walls,for Milcom will go into exiletogether with his priests and officials.4Why do you boast of your valleys—your valleys so fruitful,2O faithless daughter?You trust in your riches and say,‘Who can come against me?’
