Jeremiah 49:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² But a new day is coming,”
    announces the Lord.
“At that time I will sound the battle cry.
    I will sound it against Rabbah in the land of Ammon.
It will become a pile of broken-down buildings.
    The villages around it will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
    those who drove her out,”
    says the Lord.
³ “Heshbon, weep for Ai! It is destroyed!
    Cry out, you who live in Rabbah!
Put on the clothes of sadness and mourn.
    Run here and there inside the walls.
Your god named Molek will be carried away.
    So will its priests and officials.
⁴ Why do you brag about your valleys?
    You brag that they produce so many crops.
Ammon, you are an unfaithful country.
    You trust in your riches. You say,
    ‘Who will attack me?’
