Jeremiah 49:1-3

Tree of Life Version

49 About Ammon’s children, thus says Adonai:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then did Malcam dispossess Gad
and his people settled in its towns?
² Therefore behold, days are coming”
—it is a declaration of Adonai—
“when I will sound an alarm of war
heard against Rabbah of Ammon!
It will become a mound of ruins.
Her villages will be burned with fire.
Then Israel will dispossess those
who dispossessed him.”
it is a declaration of Adonai.
³ “Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated!
Cry, daughters of Rabbah!
Wear sackcloth, lament,
and run to and fro within the walls,
for Malcam will go into captivity
together with his priests and princes.
