Jeremiah 49:1-2

Judgment on Ammon

1 ^aConcerning the Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:

“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then has ^bMilcom ^cdispossessed Gad,
and his people settled in its cities?
2 Therefore, behold, the days are coming,
declares the Lord,
when I will cause ^dthe battle cry to be heard
against ^eRabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate ^fmound,
and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
says the Lord.
