² Therefore, the time is surely coming,
    says the Lord,
when I will sound the battle alarm
    against Rabbah of the Ammonites;
it shall become a desolate mound,
    and its villages shall be burned with fire;
then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him,
    says the Lord.^(A)

¹⁴ So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,
    and it shall devour its strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    with a storm on the day of the whirlwind;^(A)
