Jeremiah 49:1-2

GOD’S WORD Translation

A Prophecy against Ammon

49 This is what the Lord says about the people of Ammon:

Doesn’t Israel have any children? Doesn’t it have any heirs?
Why, then, has the god Milcom ^[a] taken over the inheritance
of Gad’s descendants?
Why do Milcom’s people live in Gad’s cities?
²That is why the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah,
where the people of Ammon live.
It will become a pile of rubble.
Its villages will be burned down.
Then Israel will take possession of its inheritance, says the Lord.
