Jeremiah 49:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ “People in Heshbon, cry because the town of Ai is destroyed!
    Women in Rabbah of Ammon, cry!
Put on sackcloth and cry.
    Run to the city for safety,
because the enemy will take away the god Milcom,
    with his priests and officials.
⁴ You brag about your strength,
    but you are losing your strength.
You trust in your wealth to save you.
    You think no one would even think of attacking you.”
⁵ But this is what the Lord God All-Powerful says:
    “I will bring troubles to you from every side.
You will all run away,
    and no one will be able to bring you together again.”
