Jeremiah 49:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
Cry out, O daughters[a] of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth,
lament, and slash yourselves with whips![b]
For Milcom[c] shall go into exile,
with his priests and his attendants.(A)
4 Why do you boast in your strength?
Your strength is ebbing,
O faithless daughter.
Who trusted in her treasures, saying,[d]
“Who will attack me?”(B)
5 I am going to bring terror upon you,
says the Lord God of hosts,
from all your neighbors,
and you will be scattered, each headlong,
with no one to gather the fugitives.(C)

Jeremiah 49:3-5
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)
