“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated.
    Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah, put on sackcloth.
    Lament and run back and forth among the walls.
For Milcom will go into exile,
    his priests and his officials together.
Why do you boast in your valleys?
    Your valleys[a] are ebbing.
O unfaithful daughter, who trusted in her treasures,
    who said, ‘Who will come against me?’
Look, I am going to bring dread on you,”
declares[b] Lord Yahweh of hosts,
    “from all your surrounding neighbors.
And you will be scattered,
    each one before it,[c]
and there is no one who gathers the fugitives.[d]
