13 Thus says the Lord:

(A)“For three transgressions of the (B)Ammonites,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (C)they have ripped open pregnant women in (D)Gilead,
    that they might enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of (E)Rabbah,
    (F)and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    (G)with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
15 and (H)their king shall go into exile,
    he and his princes[a] together,”
says the Lord.

“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)
