The People of Ammon

13 This is what the Lord says:

“For ·the many [L three, even four; vv. 3, 6, 9, 11] ·crimes [sins; transgressions] of Ammon,
    I will ·punish them [L not turn back/grant a reprieve].
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead
    ·so they could take over that land
    and make their own country larger [L to enlarge their borders].
14 So I will send fire on the city wall of Rabbah
    that will ·destroy [consume; devour] its ·strong buildings [fortresses; palaces].
·It will come during [L Amid shouting/war cries on] a day of battle,
    during a stormy day with ·strong winds [a whirlwind].
15 Then their king will be taken ·captive [into exile];
    he and his ·leaders [officials; princes] will all be taken away together,” says the Lord.
