12 So I will send fire on the city of Teman.
    That fire will even destroy the strong towers of Bozrah.”[a]

The People of Ammon

13 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes Ammon is doing,
    I will punish them.
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead.
    They did this so they could take over that land
    and make their own country larger.
14 So I will send fire on the walls of Rabbah.
    That fire will destroy the city’s strong towers.
It will come during a day of battle.
    There will be strong winds on a stormy day.
