Jeremiah 49:2 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

So listen up — the time is coming when I'll let the war sirens blare in Rabbah, the Ammonite capital. That city will become nothing but rubble, and all the surrounding towns will go up in flames. Then Israel will take back what was always meant to be theirs from the people who stole it.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's saying the tables are about to turn — what was stolen will be returned to its rightful owners.
