Read Jeremiah 49 in full →Word Against Ammon
49Concerning the sons of aAmmon. Thus says Yahweh: “Does Israel have no sons?Or has he no one who can take possession?Why then has 1Malcam taken possession of GadAnd his people settled in its cities?
2“Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh,“That I will cause a 1,atrumpet blast of war to be heardAgainst bRabbah of the sons of Ammon;And it will become a desolate heap,And her ctowns will be set on fire.Then Israel will take dpossession of his possessors,”Says Yahweh.3“Wail, O aHeshbon, for bAi has been destroyed!Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah,cGird yourselves with sackcloth and lament,And rush back and forth inside the walls;For 1Malcam will dgo into exileTogether with his priests and his princes.4“How aboastful you are about the valleys!Your valley is flowing away,O bfaithless daughterWho trusts in her ctreasures, saying,‘dWho will come against me?’5“Behold, I am going to bring adread upon you,”Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,“From all around you;And each of you will be bbanished 1headlong,With no one to gather the cone who flees.6“But afterward I will 1,areturnThe 2fortunes of the sons of Ammon,”Declares Yahweh.
