Jeremiah 49:1-6 Of the sons of Ammon–Thus, saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession, of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Of the sons of Ammon–Thus, saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession, of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling? ² Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze,––Then shall, Israel, inherit them, who inherited him, Saith Yahweh. ³ Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled, Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye, and run to and fro among the fences,––For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, His priests and his princes, together. ⁴ Why shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale, O apostate, daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying,] Who, shall invade, me? ⁵ Behold me! bringing upon thee, terror, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee,––And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer; ⁶ But, afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.
