Ammon Will Be Judged for Its Crimes

13 This is what Yahweh says:

Because Ammon has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
    I will not change my plans.
        The Ammonites enlarged their territory
            by ripping open pregnant women in Gilead.
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah
    and burn down its palaces
        while troops are shouting on the day of battle
            and winds are howling on the day of the storm.
15 Their king will go into captivity along with his officials.

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)
