You too, O Madʹmen, should keep silent,

For the sword is following you.

 2 “‘Therefore look! the days are coming,’ declares Jehovah,

‘When I will cause the alarm signal of war* to be heard against Rabʹbah+ of the Amʹmon·ites.+

She will become a desolate mound,

And her dependent* towns will be set on fire.’
