13 Yahweh says:

“For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment;
    because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,
    that they may enlarge their border.
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,
    and it will devour its palaces,
    with shouting in the day of battle,
    with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;
15 and their king will go into captivity,
    he and his princes together,”

says Yahweh.

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)
