Jeremiah 49:1-2

Revised Standard Version

Judgment on the Ammonites

49 Concerning the Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:
“Has Israel no sons?
    Has he no heir?
Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad,
    and his people settled in its cities?
²Therefore, behold, the days are coming,
    says the Lord,
when I will cause the battle cry to be heard
    against Rabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate mound,
    and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
    says the Lord.
