13 Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of the Ammonites,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,
    in order to enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,
    and it will devour its fortresses,
with a war cry on the day of battle,
    with a tempest on the day of the whirlwind.
15 Their king shall go into captivity,
    he and his princes together,
    says 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)
