A Warning to Ammon

13 This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of the Ammonites
    —and now for a fourth—
        I will not turn away;
because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
    in order to enlarge their national borders.[a]
14 So I will send down fire upon the wall of Rabbah,
    and it will devour their fortified citadels
        with an alarm sounding in the time of battle,
    and with a whirlwind in the time of storm.
15 Their king will go into captivity—
    he and his princes together,”
        says the Lord.
