Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste: cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourselves with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
Behold, therefore I will stretch out my hand upon you, and will deliver you as a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut you off from the people, and I will cause you to perish out of the countries: I will destroy you; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
