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?”

Jeremiah 49:2-4
New International Version
2 But the days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will sound the battle cry(A)
against Rabbah(B) of the Ammonites;
it will become a mound of ruins,(C)
and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
those who drove her out,(D)”
says the Lord.
3 “Wail, Heshbon,(E) for Ai(F) is destroyed!
Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth(G) and mourn;
rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek(H) will go into exile,(I)
together with his priests and officials.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,(J)
you trust in your riches(K) and say,
‘Who will attack me?’(L)
