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.
14 So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,
    fire that shall devour its strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    with a storm on the day of the whirlwind;
15 then their king shall go into exile,
    he and his officials together,
says the Lord.
