• Jeremiah 49:1, 2
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 49 For the Amʹmon·ites,+ this is what Jehovah says:

      “Does Israel have no sons?

      Does he have no heir?

      Why has Malʹcam+ taken possession of Gad?+

      And why are his people living in Israel’s cities?”

       2 “‘Therefore look! the days are coming,’ declares Jehovah,

      ‘When I will cause the alarm signal of war* to be heard against Rabʹbah+ of the Amʹmon·ites.+

      She will become a desolate mound,

      And her dependent* towns will be set on fire.’

      ‘And Israel will take possession of those who dispossessed him,’+ says Jehovah.
