49:2Because you did that,

I, the Lord, affirm that4 a time is coming

when I will make Rabbah, the capital city of Ammon,

hear the sound of the battle cry.

It will become a mound covered with ruins.5

Its villages will be burned to the ground.6

Then Israel will take back its land

from those who took their land from them.

I, the Lord, affirm it!7
