“Has IsraelH3478H518 noH369 sonsH1121?Is he withoutH369 heirH3423?Why thenH4069 has MilcomH44281 taken possessionH3423 of GadH1410?Why have his peopleH5971 settledH3427 in their citiesH5892?2ThereforeH3651, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,when I will soundH8085 the battleH4421 cryH8643againstH413 RabbahH7237 of the AmmonitesH1121H5983.It will becomeH1961 a heapH8510 of ruinsH8077,and its villagesH1323 will be burnedH784H3341.Then IsraelH3478 will drive outH3423 their dispossessorsH3423,saysH559 the LORDH3068.3WailH3213, O HeshbonH2809, forH3588 AiH5857 has been destroyedH7703;cry outH6817, O daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237!Put onH2296 sackclothH8242 and mournH5594;run back and forthH7751 within your wallsH1448,forH3588 MilcomH4428 will goH1980 into exileH1473together withH3162 his priestsH3548 and officialsH8269.4WhyH4100 do you boastH1984 of your valleysH6010—your valleysH6010 so fruitfulH2100,2O faithlessH7728 daughterH1323?You trustH982 in your richesH214 and say,‘WhoH4310 can come againstH935 meH413?’
