*
Concerning the sons of Ammon .
Thus says LORD :
Has Israel no sons ?
Has he no heir ?
Why then does Malcam possess Gad ,
and his people dwell in the cities thereof ?
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
says LORD ,
that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon ,
and it shall become a desolate heap ,
and her daughters shall be burned with fire .
Then Israel shall pos
*
Wail ,
O Heshbon ,
for Ai is laid waste .
Cry ,
ye daughters of Rabbah .
Gird you with sackcloth .
Lament ,
and run to and fro among the fences .
For Malcam shall go into captivity ,
his priests and his rulers together .
*
Why do thou glory in the valleys ,
thy flowing valley ?
O backsliding daughter ,
who trusted in her treasures , [
saying ],
Who shall come to me ?
*
Behold ,
I will bring a fear upon thee ,
says the Lord ,
LORD of hosts ,
from all who are round about thee .
And ye shall be driven out every man straight forth ,
and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives .
*
But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon ,
says LORD .
