Jeremiah 49:1-2

Contemporary English Version

The people of Israel
have plenty of children
    to inherit their lands.
So why have you worshipers
    of the god Milcom^[a]
taken over towns and land
    belonging to the tribe of Gad?
² Someday I will send an army
to attack you in Rabbah,
    your capital city.
It will be left in ruins,
and the surrounding villages
    will lie in ashes.
You took some of Israel's land,
but on that day
    Israel will take yours!
