Jeremiah 49:2

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

The Lord says, “The time will come in Rabbah of Ammon when people hear the sounds of battle. Rabbah of Ammon will be destroyed. It will be an empty hill covered with ruined buildings, and the towns around it will be burned. Those people forced the people of Israel to leave their own land. But later, Israel will force them to leave.” This is what the Lord said.
