Jeremiah 49:1

NET Bible® (New English Translation)

Judgment Against Ammon The LORD spoke about the Ammonites.“Do you think there are not any people of the nation of Israel remaining? Do you think there are not any of them remaining to reinherit their land? Is that why you people who worship the god Milcom have taken possession of the territory of Gad and live in his cities?
