* Against the Ammonites . Thus says the LORD : "Has Israel no sons ? Has he no heir ? Why then does Milcom inherit Gad , And his people dwell in its cities ? * Therefore behold , the days are coming ," says the LORD , "That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war In Rabbah of the Ammonites ; It shall be a desolate mound , And her villages shall be burned with fire . Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance ," says the LORD . * "Wail , O Heshbon , for Ai is plundered ! Cry , you daughters of Rabbah , Gird yourselves with sackcloth ! Lament and run to and fro by the walls ; For Milcom shall go into captivity With his priests and his princes together . * Why do you boast in the valleys , Your flowing valley , O backsliding daughter ? Who trusted in her treasures , saying , "Who will come against me ?' * Behold , I will bring fear upon you ," Says the Lord GOD of hosts , "From all those who are around you ; You shall be driven out , everyone headlong , And no one will gather those who wander off . * But afterward I will bring back The captives of the people of Ammon ," says the LORD .
