Jeremiah 26:15

26:15 But you should take careful note of this: If you put me to death, you will bring on yourselves and this city and those who live in it the guilt of murdering an innocent man. For the Lord has sent me to speak all this where you can hear it. That is the truth!” ¹ 

Jeremiah 49:2

49:2 Because you did that,

I, the Lord, affirm that ²  a time is coming

when I will make Rabbah, the capital city of Ammon,

hear the sound of the battle cry.

It will become a mound covered with ruins. ³ 

Its villages will be burned to the ground. ⁴ 

Then Israel will take back its land

from those who took their land from them.

I, the Lord, affirm it! ⁵
