CAB(i)
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon, thus says the Lord: Are there no sons in Israel? Or have they no one to succeed them? Why has Milcom inherited Gilead, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?
2 Therefore behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will cause a tumult of wars to be heard in Rabbah; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.
3 Howl, O Heshbron, for Ai has perished; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Milcom shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.
4 Why do you boast in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in your treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?
5 Behold, I will bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you shall be scattered, everyone right before him, and there is none to gather you.
