Jeremiah 49:2-4
Common English Bible
Jeremiah 49:2-4
Common English Bible
2 Therefore, the time is coming,
declares the Lord,
when I will sound the battle alarm against Rabbah,
the capital city of the Ammonites.
The city will be demolished,
and its neighboring villages
will be burned to the ground.
Then Israel will repossess
the land seized by its captors,
says the Lord.
3 Weep, you people of Heshbon;
Ai has been destroyed.
Wail, you daughters of Rabbah;
put on funeral clothing,
cry your eyes out,
run for shelter.[a]
Milcom will surely go into exile,
together with his priests and ministers.
4 Why do you brag about your strength?
Your strength is exhausted,[b]
you rebellious daughter.
You trust in your treasures,
never imagining who would attack you.

Jeremiah 49:2-4
New International Version
2 But the days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will sound the battle cry(A)
against Rabbah(B) of the Ammonites;
it will become a mound of ruins,(C)
and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
those who drove her out,(D)”
says the Lord.
3 “Wail, Heshbon,(E) for Ai(F) is destroyed!
Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth(G) and mourn;
rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek(H) will go into exile,(I)
together with his priests and officials.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,(J)
you trust in your riches(K) and say,
‘Who will attack me?’(L)
