KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Cry out, Heshbon — Ai has been destroyed! Daughters of Rabbah, put on mourning clothes and weep. Pace back and forth behind the walls in desperation, because your king is being dragged away as a prisoner, along with all his priests and officials.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When destruction comes, it doesn't just take the city — it takes everyone who thought they were untouchable.
