Jeremiah 49:1-5

1Concerning the sons of 1Ammon. Thus says the Lord: “Does Israel have no sons? Or has he no heirs? Why then has 2Malcam taken possession of Gad And his people settled in its cities?2Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “That I will cause a 34trumpet blast of war to be heard Against 5Rabbah of the sons of Ammon; And it will become a desolate heap, And her 6towns will be set on fire. Then Israel will take 7possession of his possessors,” Says the Lord.3“Wail, O 8Heshbon, for 9Ai has been destroyed! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah, 10Gird yourselves with sackcloth and lament, And rush back and forth inside the walls; For 11Malcam will 12go into exile Together with his priests and his princes.4How 13boastful you are about the valleys! Your valley is flowing away, O 14backsliding daughter Who trusts in her 15treasures, saying, ‘16Who will come against me?’5Behold, I am going to bring 17terror upon you,” Declares the Lord 18God of hosts, “From all directions around you; And each of you will be 19driven out 20headlong, With no one to gather the 21fugitives together.
