49:2 Because you did that,
I, the Lord, affirm that 1 a time is coming
when I will make Rabbah, the capital city of Ammon,
hear the sound of the battle cry.
It will become a mound covered with ruins. 2
Its villages will be burned to the ground. 3
Then Israel will take back its land
from those who took their land from them.
I, the Lord, affirm it! 4
49:3 Wail, you people in Heshbon, because Ai in Ammon is destroyed.
Cry out in anguish, you people in the villages surrounding 5 Rabbah.
Put on sackcloth and cry out in mourning.
Run about covered with gashes. 6
For your god Milcom will go into exile
along with his priests and officials. 7
