Amos 1:13-15
Expanded Bible
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.
Amos 1:13-15
New International Version
13 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Ammon,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he ripped open the pregnant women(B) of Gilead
in order to extend his borders,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah(C)
that will consume(D) her fortresses
amid war cries(E) on the day of battle,
amid violent winds(F) on a stormy day.
15 Her king[a] will go into exile,
he and his officials together,(G)”
says the Lord.(H)
