Jeremias 49:4

Ammon’s sins were her pride in her natural resources (cf. Jeremiah 48:26; Jeremiah 48:29; Jeremiah 48:42) and her material treasures that she had accumulated (cf. Jeremiah 48:7; 1 Timothy 6:17), and her false security (cf. Jeremiah 48:11). Steep valleys surrounded remote Ammon on three sides. The people of Ammon, personified as a daughter, were slipping away from their secure position, as the water in their valleys flowed away.
