Jeremiah 49:2-4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 Therefore look, the days are coming—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
when I will make the shout of battle(A) heard
against Rabbah of the Ammonites.
It will become a desolate mound,
and its villages will be burned down.
Israel will dispossess their dispossessors,
says the Lord.
3 Wail, Heshbon,(B) for Ai is devastated;
cry out, daughters of Rabbah!
Clothe yourselves with sackcloth,(C) and lament;
run back and forth within your walls,[a]
because Milcom will go into exile
together with his priests and officials.(D)
4 Why do you brag about your valleys,
your flowing valley,[b]
you faithless daughter?
You who trust in your treasures
and boast, “Who can attack me?”
