Jeremiah 49:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
Cry out, O daughters[a] of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth,
lament, and slash yourselves with whips![b]
For Milcom[c] shall go into exile,
with his priests and his attendants.(A)
4 Why do you boast in your strength?
Your strength is ebbing,
O faithless daughter.
Who trusted in her treasures, saying,[d]
“Who will attack me?”(B)
5 I am going to bring terror upon you,
says the Lord God of hosts,
from all your neighbors,
and you will be scattered, each headlong,
with no one to gather the fugitives.(C)
