For Three Crimes of Ammon

13 Thus says the Lord:

For three crimes of the Ammonites, and for four,
    I will not revoke my decree.
Because they ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead
    in their determination to enlarge their territory,
14 I will send down fire upon the walls of Rabbah[a]
    to devour its palaces
amid war cries on the day of battle
    and violent storms on the day of the whirlwind.
15 Then their king will go into exile,
    accompanied by his chief advisors,
    says the Lord.
