Judgment on Ammon

A Sword Against the Ammonites
28 “And you, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God (A)concerning the Ammonites and concerning their reproach,’ and say:
‘A sword, a sword is drawn,
Polished for slaughter,
For consuming, for flashing—
Amos 1:13-15
New King James Version
13 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of (B)Rabbah,
And it shall devour its palaces,
(C)Amid shouting in the day of battle,
And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 (D)Their king shall go into captivity,
He and his princes together,”
Says the Lord.
Zephaniah 2:9
New King James Version
9 Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely (A)Moab shall be like Sodom,
And (B)the people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
(C)Overrun[a] with weeds and saltpits,
And a [b]perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”
