Jeremiah 49:1-6

1Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith Yhwh; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?12

2Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Yhwh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith Yhwh.

3Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.3

4Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?4

5Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord Yhwh of Armies, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

6And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith Yhwh.
