Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

The verse 4 is found in chapter 49 of Jeremiah. The oracle against Ammon denounces the nation’s confidence in its valley and treasures. Milcom and the cities will be affected by judgment, but a promise of restoration eventually appears. The structure demonstrates that a word of judgment against the nations does not eliminate the possibility of future mercy.

Was trotzest du auf deine Auen? Deine Auen sind ersäuft, du ungehorsame Tochter, die du dich auf deine Schätze verlässest und sprichst in deinem Herzen: Wer darf sich an mich machen?
¿Por qué te glorías de los valles? Tu valle se deshizo, oh hija contumaz, la que confía en sus tesoros, la que dice: ¿Quién vendrá contra mí?
¿Por qué te jactas de tus valles, de tu valle rebosante, hija rebelde, que confías en tus tesoros y dices: “¿Quién vendrá contra mí?”?
Pourquoi te glorifies-tu de tes vallées? Ta vallée se fond, fille rebelle, Qui te confiais dans tes trésors: Qui viendra contre moi?
Perchè ti glorii delle valli? la tua valle si è scolata, o figliuola ribelle, che ti confidavi ne’ tuoi tesori; che dicevi: Chi verrà contro a me?
Por que te glorias nos vales, teus luxuriantes vales, ó filha rebelde, que confias nos teus tesouros, dizendo: Quem virá contra mim?
背道的民 哪, 你為何因有山谷, 因有水流的山谷誇耀呢? 為何倚靠自己的財寶,說: 「誰能來到我們這裏呢?」
