Amos 1:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 I will send fire upon Teman,
and it will devour the strongholds of Bozrah.[a]
Ammon
13 Thus says the Lord:
For three crimes of the Ammonites, and now four—
I will not take it back—
Because they ripped open pregnant women in Gilead,(A)
in order to extend their territory,
14 I will kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah,[b]
and it will devour its strongholds
Amid war cries on the day of battle,
amid stormwind on the day of tempest.
