13 Here is what the Eternal says about Ammon, just northeast of the Jordan:

Eternal One: For three crimes of the Ammonites,
        no for four, I have laid down My sentence and will not revoke it
    Because they ripped open the bellies of pregnant women in Gilead
        as they made war to expand their territory.
14     So I will send down fire on the wall that protects Rabbah, its only major city,
        and burn down all of its fortifications.
    With shouts and war cries on the day of battle,
        with a whirlwind in the midst of the storm,
15     I will force the king into exile,
        along with all the officials who counsel him.

So says the Eternal One.

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)
