Jeremiah 49:1-5

1Concerning the AmmonitesH5983H1121, thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Hath IsraelH3478 no sonsH1121? hath he no heirH3423? why then doth their kingH4428 inheritH3423 GadH1410, and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in his citiesH5892?12

2Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH559 YhwhH3068, that I will cause an alarmH8643 of warH4421 to be heardH8085 in RabbahH7237 of the AmmonitesH5983H1121; and it shall be a desolateH8077 heapH8510, and her daughtersH1323 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784: then shall IsraelH3478 be heirH3423 unto them that were his heirsH3423, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

3HowlH3213, O HeshbonH2809, for AiH5857 is spoiledH7703: cryH6817, ye daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237, girdH2296 you with sackclothH8242; lamentH5594, and run to and froH7751 by the hedgesH1448; for their kingH4428 shall goH3212 into captivityH1473, and his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.3

4Wherefore gloriestH1984 thou in the valleysH6010, thy flowingH2100 valleyH6010, O backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? that trustedH982 in her treasuresH214, saying, Who shall comeH935 unto me?4

5Behold, I will bringH935 a fearH6343 upon thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069 of ArmiesH6635, from all those that be aboutH5439 thee; and ye shall be driven outH5080 every manH376 right forthH6440; and none shall gather upH6908 him that wanderethH5074.
