Jeremiah 49:2 in context

  1. 1Of the children of Ammon. Yahweh says:
    “Has Israel no sons?
    Has he no heir?
    Why then does Malcam possess Gad,
    and his people dwell in its cities?
  2. 2Therefore behold, the days come,”
    says Yahweh,
    “that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon;
    and it will become a desolate heap,
    and her daughters will be burned with fire:
    then Israel will possess those who possessed him,”
    says Yahweh.
  3. 3“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
    Cry, you daughters of Rabbah!
    Clothe yourself in sackcloth.
    Lament, and run back and forth among the fences;
    for Malcam will go into captivity,
    his priests and his princes together.
  4. 4Why do you boast in the valleys,
    your flowing valley, backsliding daughter?
    You trusted in her treasures,
    saying, ‘Who will come to me?’
