* Concerning the children of Ammon . Thus saith Jehovah : Hath Israel no sons ? hath he no heir ? Why is Malcam heir of Gad , and his people dwell in the cities thereof ? * Therefore behold , days come , saith Jehovah , that I will cause the clamour of war to be heard in Rabbah of the children of Ammon ; and it shall be a desolate heap ; and her towns shall be burned with fire ; and Israel shall possess them that possessed him , saith Jehovah . * Howl , Heshbon ! for Ai is laid waste ; cry , daughters of Rabbah , gird you with sackcloth , lament and run to and fro within the enclosures : for Malcam shall go into captivity , his priests and his princes together . * Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys ? Thy valley shall flow down , O backsliding daughter , that trusteth in her treasures , [saying ,] Who shall come against me ? * Behold , I will bring a fear upon thee , saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts , from all that are about thee ; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth ; and none shall assemble the fugitives . * And afterwards I will turn the captivity of the children of Ammon , saith Jehovah .
