Amos 1:12-14
Contemporary English Version

12 Now I will send fire to wipe out
the fortresses of Teman
    and Bozrah.[a]

Judgment on Ammon

13 (A) The Lord said:

I will punish Ammon
for countless crimes,
    and I won't change my mind.
In Gilead they ripped open
pregnant women,
    just to take the land.

14 Now I will send fire to destroy
the walls and fortresses
    of Rabbah.[b]
Enemies will shout and attack
    like a whirlwind.
