The People of Ammon

13 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes of Ammon,
    I will punish them.
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead
    so they could take over that land
    and make their own country larger.
14 So I will send fire on the city wall of Rabbah
    that will destroy its strong buildings.
It will come during a day of battle,
    during a stormy day with strong winds.
15 Then their king and leaders will be taken captive;
    they will all be taken away 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)
