Jeremiah 49:1-2
EasyEnglish Bible
A message about Ammon
49 The Lord gave this message about the people of Ammon:
‘There are plenty of Israel's descendants who are still alive.
They are strong enough to live in the land that is their home.
So why have people who worship the god Molech moved in to the land of Gad's tribe?
They should not be living in towns that belong to Gad's people.’[a]
2 The Lord says,
‘A time will come when an army attacks Rabbah, Ammon's capital city.
Its people will hear the noise of a battle.
The city will become a big heap of stones.
Fire will destroy the villages around it.
Then the Israelites will chase out the people who had taken their land from them.’
That is what the Lord says.
