13 Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of the sons of (A)Ammon and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they (B)ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
In order to (C)enlarge their borders.
14 So I will kindle a fire on the wall of (D)Rabbah,
And it will consume her citadels
Amid a (E)loud shout on the day of battle
And a (F)storm on the day of tempest.
15 And their (G)king will go into exile,
He and his princes together,”
Says Yahweh.

“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)
