Judgment Against Ammon
Jeremiah 49:1-6
1
Of the children of Ammon. Thus says the LORD: Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad, and his people well in its cities?
2
Therefore behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him, says the LORD.
3
Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
4
Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come to me?
5
Behold, I will bring a fear on you, says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right out, and there shall be no one to gather together the fugitives.
6
But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, says the LORD.
