13 This 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,
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)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Moab,(I)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(J)
    the bones of Edom’s king,
I will send fire on Moab
    that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[b](K)
Moab will go down in great tumult
    amid war cries(L) and the blast of the trumpet.(M)
I will destroy her ruler(N)
    and kill all her officials with him,”(O)
says the Lord.(P)
