4 Why do you boast of your valleys,

boast of your valleys so fruitful?

Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,

you trust in your riches and say,

‘Who will attack me?’

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys,

Thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter?

That trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

4 You are proud of your fertile valleys,

but they will soon be ruined.

You trusted in your wealth,

you rebellious daughter,

and thought no one could ever harm you.

4 Why do you boast in the valleys,

Your flowing valley, O backsliding daughter?

Who trusted in her treasures, saying,

‘Who will come against me?’

4 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?’

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow down, O backsliding daughter, that trusteth in her treasures, saying, Who shall come against me?

4 Why do you brag about your valleys, 

your fertile valleys, you unfaithful people? 

You trust your treasures. 

You think, “Who would attack me?” 

4 Why do you brag about your valleys,

your flowing valley,

you faithless daughter?

You who trust in your treasures

and boast, “Who can attack me?”

4 Why do you boast in your strength?

Your strength is ebbing,

O faithless daughter.

You trusted in your treasures, saying,

“Who will attack me?”

4 Why do you boast in your valleys?

Your valleys are ebbing.

O unfaithful daughter, who trusted in her treasures,

who said, ‘Who will come against me?’

4 Why do you brag about your valleys?

You brag that they produce so many crops.

You are an unfaithful country.

You trust in your riches. You say,

‘Who will attack me?’

4 “How boastful you are about the valleys!

Your valley is flowing away,

O backsliding daughter

Who trusts in her treasures, saying,

‘Who will come against me?’
