13 Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of the sons of (A)Ammon and for four
I will not revoke 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)war cries on the day of battle,
And a (F)storm on the day of tempest.
15 “Their (G)king will go into exile,
He and his princes together,” says the Lord.

amid war cries(E) on the day of battle,
    amid violent winds(F) on a stormy day.
