Jeremiah 49:3
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you 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. Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you 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.
The oracle stands among the prophecies directed against the foreign nations, and its immediate burden is Ammon. The Ammonite power addressed in it was destined to be broken by the advance of Nebuchadnezzar. Within that judgment, the daughters of Rabbah are reckoned as belonging to Rabbah itself, so that a city’s daughters are understood to lie inside the city.
