MLV(i)
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon. Jehovah says thus: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Malcam possess Gad and his people dwell in the cities of it?
2 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and it will become a desolate heap and her daughters will be burned with fire. Then Israel will possess those who possessed him, says Jehovah.
3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste. Cry, you* daughters of Rabbah. Gird you* with sackcloth. Lament and run to and fro among the fences. For Malcam will go into captivity, his priests and his rulers together. 4 Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley? O backsliding daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, Who will come to me?
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon you, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, from all who are all around you. And you* will be driven out every man straight forth and there will be none to gather together the fugitives. 6 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, says Jehovah.
