Jeremiah 49:2-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

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