Hi there. This is Mary Demuth and this is Pray Every Day, where I pray you through the Bible verse by verse on this ninth day of January.

This is episode 2,920. So we are not too far away from 3,000. Pretty amazing.

And on February 1st, we're going to celebrate eight years of pray every day. And I would just love to invite you to record a little testimony. You could just be a minute. You go to Maryamuth.com slash pray, and you can record it on your phone super easy, and you can be a part of the celebration episode of pray every day turning eight years old. And you're a part of that. Every listener is a part of this community and I just invite you to be a part.

All right, today I'm reading from Jeremiah chapter 49 verses 1 through 22 in the world English

Bible and this is what it says. Oh, the children of Ammon, Yahweh says, has Israel no sons?

Has he no heir? Why then does Malcolm possess Gad and his people dwell in its cities? Therefore behold the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabah of the children of Ammon and it will become a desolate heap and her daughters will be burned with fire, then Israel will possess those

who possessed him, says Yahweh.

Whale, Heshbon, for A'i is laid waste.

Cry, you daughters of rabbi, clothe yourself in sackcloth, lament and run back and forth

among the fences for Malcolm will go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

Why do you boast in the valleys, your

flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You trusted in her treasure saying, who will come to me?

Behold, I will bring a terror on use, says the Lord Yahweh of armies, from all who are around you,

and all who will be driven completely out, and there will be no one to gather together the

fugitives but afterward i will reverse the captivity of the children of ammon says yahweh of edom yahweh

of army says is wisdom no more and timon has counsel perished from the prudent has their wisdom vanished

flee turn back dwell in the depths,

inhabitants of deaden, for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him. If

grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves came by

night, wouldn't they steal until they've had enough? But I have made Esau bear.

I have uncovered his secret places, and he will not be able to hide himself.

His offspring will be destroyed with his brothers and his neighbors, and he is no more.
