Jeremiah 49:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is wasted: cry ye daughters of Rabbah: gird you with sackcloth: mourn and run to and fro by the hedges: for their king shall go into captivity; and his Priests, and his Princes likewise.
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the [a]valleys? thy valley floweth away, O rebellious daughter: she trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring [b]a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, of all those that be about thee, and ye shall be scattered every man [c]right forth, and none shall gather him that fleeth.
