Amos 1:13-15
International Children’s Bible
The People of Ammon
13 This is what the Lord says:
“For the many crimes Ammon is doing,
I will punish them.
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead.
They did this so they could take over that land
and make their own country larger.
14 So I will send fire on the walls of Rabbah.
That fire will destroy the city’s strong towers.
It will come during a day of battle.
There will be strong winds on a stormy day.
15 Then their king and leaders will be captured.
They 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)
