Concerning the
Ammonites*, thus
saith the
LORD; Hath
Israel no
sons? hath he no
heir? why then doth their
king inherit Gad, and his
people dwell in his
cities?

Therefore, behold, the
days come,
saith the
LORD, that I will cause an
alarm of
war to be
heard in
Rabbah of the
Ammonites*; and it shall be a
desolate heap, and her
daughters shall be
burned with
fire: then shall
Israel be
heir unto them that were his
heirs,
saith the
LORD.

Howl, O
Heshbon, for
Ai is
spoiled:
cry, ye
daughters of
Rabbah, gird you with
sackcloth; lament, and run to and
fro by the
hedges; for their
king shall
go into
captivity, and his
priests and his
princes together.

Wherefore
gloriest thou in the
valleys, thy

backsliding daughter? that
trusted in her
treasures, saying, Who shall

Behold, I will
bring a
fear upon thee,
saith the
Lord GOD of
hosts, from all those that be
about thee; and ye shall be driven
out every
man right
forth; and none shall gather
up him that
wandereth.

And

again the
captivity of the
children of
Ammon, saith the
LORD.
