Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh,
“That I will cause a [a](A)trumpet blast of war to be heard
Against (B)Rabbah of the sons of Ammon;
And it will become a desolate heap,
And her (C)towns will be set on fire.
Then Israel will take (D)possession of his possessors,”
Says Yahweh.
“Wail, O (E)Heshbon, for (F)Ai has been destroyed!
Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah,
(G)Gird yourselves with sackcloth and lament,
And rush back and forth inside the walls;
For [b]Malcam will (H)go into exile
Together with his priests and his princes.
How (I)boastful you are about the valleys!
Your valley is flowing away,
O (J)faithless daughter
Who trusts in her (K)treasures, saying,
(L)Who will come against me?’
