EasyEnglish Bible
Jeremiah 49:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 The Lord says,
‘A time will come when an army attacks Rabbah, Ammon's capital city.
Its people will hear the noise of a battle.
The city will become a big heap of stones.
Fire will destroy the villages around it.
Then the Israelites will chase out the people who had taken their land from them.’
That is what the Lord says.
3 ‘You people in Heshbon, cry aloud,
because the enemy has destroyed Ai.
Weep, you people who live in Rabbah.
Dress yourselves in sackcloth, because you are so sad.
Run around inside the city.
The enemy will take away your idol of Molech.
They will take Molech's priests and their officers to a foreign land.
4 You people of Ammon boast about your power.
But that will soon come to an end!
You have not been faithful.
You have trusted in your riches and you say,
“Nobody will be able to attack us!” ’

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)
