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]
Yet afterward[e] I will restore
    the fortunes[f] of the Ammonites,”[g] declares[h] Yahweh.
