13 The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing the Ammonites(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because they ripped open
the pregnant women of Gilead(B)
in order to enlarge their territory.(C)
14 Therefore, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah,(D)
and it will consume its citadels.
There will be shouting on the day of battle(E)
and a violent wind on the day of the storm.(F)
15 Their king and his princes
will go into exile together.(G)
The Lord has spoken.

“For three sins of Ammon,(A)

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)
