Jeremiah 49:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 49:4

2 ^aTherefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“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.

3 “Wail, O ^aHeshbon, for¹ Ai is plundered!
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.

4 Why ^ado you boast in the valleys,
¹Your flowing valley, O ^bbacksliding daughter?
Who trusted in her ^ctreasures, ^dsaying,
‘Who will come against me?’

5 Behold, I will bring fear upon you,”
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.

6 But ^aafterward I will bring back
The captives of the people of Ammon,” says the Lord.
