2 “This is what Jehovah has told me, ‘Make for yourself straps and yoke bars, and put them on your neck. 3 Then send them to the king of Eʹdom,+ the king of Moʹab,+ the king of the Amʹmon·ites,+ the king of Tyre,+ and the king of Siʹdon+ by the hand of the messengers who have come to Jerusalem to King Zed·e·kiʹah of Judah.

 3 ‘Wail, O Heshʹbon, for Aʹi has been destroyed!

Cry out, O dependent towns of Rabʹbah.

Put on sackcloth.
