13 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of the Ammonites,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead
    in order to enlarge their territory.(A)
14 So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,
    and it shall devour its strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    with a storm on the day of the whirlwind;(B)
15 then their king shall go into exile,
    he and his officials together,
            says the Lord.(C)

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)
