Jeremiah 49:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Wail, Heshbon,(A) for Ai is devastated;
cry out, daughters of Rabbah!
Clothe yourselves with sackcloth,(B) and lament;
run back and forth within your walls,[a]
because Milcom will go into exile
together with his priests and officials.(C)
4 Why do you brag about your valleys,
your flowing valley,[b]
you faithless daughter?
You who trust in your treasures
and boast, “Who can attack me?”
5 Look, I am about to bring terror on you(D)—
this is the declaration of
the Lord God of Hosts—
from all those around you.
You will be banished, each man headlong,
with no one to gather up the fugitives.

New International Version
3 “Wail, Heshbon,(A) for Ai(B) is destroyed!
Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth(C) and mourn;
rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek(D) will go into exile,(E)
together with his priests and officials.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,(F)
you trust in your riches(G) and say,
‘Who will attack me?’(H)
5 I will bring terror on you
from all those around you,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
“Every one of you will be driven away,
and no one will gather the fugitives.(I)
