ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of the Ammonites,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead,

that they might enlarge their border.

So I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,

and it shall devour her strongholds,

with shouting on the day of battle,

with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;

and their king shall go into exile,

he and his princes together,”

says the Lord.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Ammon,

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead

in order to extend his borders,

I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah

that will consume her fortresses

amid war cries on the day of battle,

amid violent winds on a stormy day.

Her king will go into exile,

he and his officials together,”

says the Lord.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Ammon have sinned again and again,

and I will not let them go unpunished!

When they attacked Gilead to extend their borders,

they ripped open pregnant women with their swords.

So I will send down fire on the walls of Rabbah,

and all its fortresses will be destroyed.

The battle will come upon them with shouts,

like a whirlwind in a mighty storm.

And their king and his princes will go into exile together,”

says the Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Thus says Yahweh: “For three transgressions of Ammon and for four I will not revoke the punishment, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory! So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah and it will devour its citadel fortresses with a war cry on the day of battle, with a storm on the day of the violent tempest. And their king will go into exile, he and his commanders together,” says Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of the children of Ammon,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead,

That they might 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 the Lord.
