Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the Lord.

But the days are coming,”
    declares the Lord,
“when I will sound the battle cry(A)
    against Rabbah(B) of the Ammonites;
it will become a mound of ruins,(C)
    and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
    those who drove her out,(D)
says the Lord.
