Jeremiah:49:1 @
About the children of Ammon .
These are the words of the Lord :
Has Israel no sons ?
has he no one to take the heritage ?
why then has Milcom taken Gad for himself ,
putting his people in its towns ?
bbe @
Jeremiah:49:2 @
Because of this ,
see ,
the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah ,
the town of the children of Ammon ;
it will become a waste of broken walls ,
and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire :
then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage ,
says the Lord .
bbe @
Jeremiah:49:3 @
Make sounds of grief ,
O Heshbon ,
for Ai is wasted ;
give loud cries ,
O daughters of Rabbah ,
and put haircloth round you :
give yourselves to weeping ,
running here and there and wounding yourselves ;
for Milcom will be taken prisoner together with his rulers and his priests .
bbe @
Jeremiah:49:4 @
Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys ,
your flowing valley ,
O daughter ever turning away ?
who puts her faith in her wealth ,
saying ,
Who will come against me ?

Jeremiah:49:5 @
See ,
I will send fear on you ,
says the Lord ,
the Lord of armies ,
from those who are round you on every side ;
you will be forced out ,
every man straight before him ,
and there will be no one to get together the wanderers .
bbe @
Jeremiah:49:6 @
But after these things ,
I will let the fate of the children of Ammon be changed ,
says the Lord .
