Jeremiah 49:2-4
New King James Version
2 (A)Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war
In (B)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
It shall be a desolate mound,
And her [a]villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.
3 “Wail, O (C)Heshbon, for Ai is plundered!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
(D)Gird yourselves with sackcloth!
Lament and run to and fro by the walls;
For [b]Milcom shall go into captivity
With his (E)priests and his princes together.
4 Why (F)do you boast in the valleys,
[c]Your flowing valley, O (G)backsliding daughter?
Who trusted in her (H)treasures, (I)saying,
‘Who will come against me?’
