For Three Crimes of Ammon

13 Thus says the Lord:

For three crimes of the Ammonites, and for four,
    I will not revoke my decree.
Because they ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead
    in their determination to enlarge their territory,
14 I will send down fire upon the walls of Rabbah[a]
    to devour its palaces
amid war cries on the day of battle
    and violent storms on the day of the whirlwind.
15 Then their king will go into exile,
    accompanied by his chief advisors,
    says the Lord.

    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)
