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.
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)
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?”
