# Howl in lament "Cry loudly and weep" # Heshbon "people of Heshbon". Translate the name of this city as done in Jeremiah 48:2. # for Ai will be devastated "for your enemies will devastate Ai" # daughters of Rabbah "women of Rabbah" or "people of Rabbah" # Gird yourselves with sackcloth "Put on the clothes that show you are mourning". They are to prepare to mourn, not to work or fight. See Jeremiah 4:8. # for Molech is going into captivity "for your enemies will take your god Molech captive." This means the enemies will take the idol, Molech, back to their land.
