“Wail, (A)Heshbon, for (B)Ai has been destroyed!
Cry out, daughters of Rabbah,
(C)Put on sackcloth and mourn,
And move about inside the walls;
For [a]Malcam will (D)go into exile
Together with his priests and his leaders.
How you (E)boast about the valleys!
Your valley is flowing away,
You (F)backsliding daughter
Who trusts in her (G)treasures, saying,
(H)Who can come against me?’
Behold, I am going to bring (I)terror upon you,”
Declares the Lord [b]God of armies,
“From all directions around you;
And you will be (J)driven away [c]one after another,
With no one to gather the (K)fugitives together.
