Jeremiah 49:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does Milcom^[a] possess Gad?
Why do his people live in Israel’s cities?
² Watch, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will sound a battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites,
and it will become a desolate heap.
Her villages will be burned down,
and then Israel will possess those who possessed him,
declares the Lord.
³ Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth and mourn.
Run back and forth behind the walls,
because Milcom is about to go into captivity,
with his priests and his officials.
