Amos 1:13-15

New International Version

¹³This 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,
¹⁴I 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.
¹⁵Her king^[a] will go into exile,
    he and his officials together,^(G)”
says the Lord.^(H)

Moab and Ammon

⁸“I have heard the insults^(A) of Moab^(B)
    and the taunts of the Ammonites,^(C)
who insulted^(D) my people
    and made threats against their land.^(E)
⁹Therefore, as surely as I live,”
    declares the Lord Almighty,
    the God of Israel,
“surely Moab^(F) will become like Sodom,^(G)
    the Ammonites^(H) like Gomorrah—
a place of weeds and salt pits,
    a wasteland forever.
The remnant of my people will plunder^(I) them;
    the survivors^(J) of my nation will inherit their land.^(K)”

¹⁰This is what they will get in return for their pride,^(L)
    for insulting^(M) and mocking
    the people of the Lord Almighty.^(N)
¹¹The Lord will be awesome^(O) to them
    when he destroys all the gods^(P) of the earth.^(Q)
Distant nations will bow down to him,^(R)
    all of them in their own lands.
