Jeremiah 49:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² The Lord says, “The time will come in Rabbah of Ammon^[a]
    when people hear the sounds of battle.
Rabbah of Ammon will be destroyed.
    It will be an empty hill covered with ruined buildings,
    and the towns around it will be burned.
Those people forced the people of Israel to leave their own land.
    But later, Israel will force them to leave.”
This is what the Lord said.

³ “People in Heshbon, cry because the town of Ai is destroyed!
    Women in Rabbah of Ammon, cry!
Put on sackcloth and cry.
    Run to the city for safety,
because the enemy will take away the god Milcom,
    with his priests and officials.
⁴ You brag about your strength,
    but you are losing your strength.
You trust in your wealth to save you.
    You think no one would even think of attacking you.”
