‏ Amos 1:13-15

13 Thus says the Lord:

^a“For three transgressions of the ^bAmmonites,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^cthey have ripped open pregnant women in ^dGilead,
that they might enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^eRabbah,
^fand it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
^gwith a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
15 and ^htheir king shall go into exile,
he and his princes ^{▼▼Or officials} together,”

says the Lord.
