“Has Israel no sons?
    Has Israel no heir?
Why then has Molek^[a](B) taken possession of Gad?^(C)
    Why do his people live in its towns?

³ “Wail, Heshbon,^(A) for Ai^(B) is destroyed!
    Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth^(C) and mourn;
    rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek^(D) will go into exile,^(E)
    together with his priests and officials.
