Judgment on Ammon

49 (A)Concerning the Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:

“Has Israel no sons?
    Has he no heir?
Why then has (B)Milcom[a] (C)dispossessed Gad,
    and his people settled in its cities?
Therefore, behold, the days are coming,
    declares the Lord,
when I will cause (D)the battle cry to be heard
    against (E)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate (F)mound,
    and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
    says the Lord.

“Wail, O (G)Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
    Cry out, O daughters of (H)Rabbah!
(I)Put on sackcloth,
    lament, and run to and fro among the hedges!
For (J)Milcom shall go into exile,
    (K)with his priests and his officials.
