13 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they have ripped off the mountains of Gilead that they might enlarge their border:

14 but I will kindle fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof as with shouting in the day of battle, as with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;

15 and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, said the LORD.

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)
