Thus saith Jehovah:
For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border.
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
