Amos 1:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Ammon
13 Thus says the Lord:
For three crimes of the Ammonites, and now four—
I will not take it back—
Because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead,(A)
in order to extend their territory,
14 I will kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah,[a]
and it will devour its strongholds
Amid war cries on the day of battle,
amid stormwind on the day of tempest.
15 Their king shall go into exile,
he and his princes with him, says the Lord.
