“That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war
In bRabbah of the Ammonites;
It shall be a desolate mound,
And her1 villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
bGird yourselves with sackcloth!
Lament and run to and fro by the walls;
For Milcom shall go into captivity
With his cpriests and his princes together.
1Your flowing valley, O bbacksliding daughter?
Who trusted in her ctreasures, dsaying,
‘Who will come against me?’
Says the Lord God of hosts,
“From all those who are around you;
You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,
And no one will gather those who wander off.

Jeremiah 49:4
Thy flowing valley - The (fertile) valley in which Rabbah was situated. The Septuagint again has: "in the valleys of the Anakim," as in Jeremiah 47:5 (see the note).
