Carnal security » War and famine
Why do you brag about your great power? Your power is ebbing away, you rebellious people of Ammon, who trust in your riches and say, 'Who would dare to attack us?'
"These people have denied what the Lord says. They have said, 'That is not so! No harm will come to us. We will not experience war and famine.
Listen, you who sit enthroned above the valley on a rocky plateau. I am opposed to you,' says the Lord. 'You boast, "No one can swoop down on us. No one can penetrate into our places of refuge."
All the sinners among my people will die by the sword -- the ones who say, 'Disaster will not come near, it will not confront us.'

Security » FALSE » Ruin will overtake it
Both of these will come upon you suddenly, in one day! You will lose your children and be widowed. You will be overwhelmed by these tragedies, despite your many incantations and your numerous amulets.
All the sinners among my people will die by the sword -- the ones who say, 'Disaster will not come near, it will not confront us.'
