“The ·time will come [L days are coming] when I will make Rabbah
    of the Ammonites [C its capital], hear the battle cry.
It will become a ·hill covered with ruins [desolate ruin],
    and the ·towns [villages; L daughters] around it will be burned with fire.
Those people ·forced [dispossessed] Israel out of that land,
    but now Israel will ·force them out [dispossess them]!” says the Lord.
“People in the town of Heshbon, ·cry sadly [wail] because the town of Ai is destroyed!
    ·Those who live in [L Daughters of] Rabbah, cry out!
Put on your ·rough cloth to show your sadness [sackcloth; burlap], and ·cry loudly [mourn; wail].
    Run here and there for safety inside the walls,
because Molech will be taken ·captive [into exile]
    and his priests and officers with him.
·You [L Why do you…?] brag about your valleys
    and about the fruit in your valleys.
You are like an ·unfaithful [rebellious] ·child [L daughter]
    who ·believes her treasures will save her [L trusts/has confidence in her treasures/arsenals].
    You think, ‘Who would attack me?’
