The Lord says,
“The time will come when I will make Rabbah,
    the capital city of the Ammonites, hear the battle cry.
It will become a hill covered with ruins,
    and the towns around it will be burned.
Those people forced Israel out of that land,
    but now Israel will force them out!” says the Lord.
“People in the town of Heshbon, cry sadly because the town of Ai is destroyed!
    Those who live in Rabbah, cry out!
Put on your rough cloth to show your sadness, and cry loudly.
    Run here and there for safety inside the walls,
because Molech will be taken captive
    and his priests and officers with him.
You brag about your valleys
    and about the fruit in your valleys.
You are like an unfaithful child
    who believes his treasures will save him.
    You think, ‘Who would attack me?’
