GOD'S WORD Translation GW

10
I will send fire on the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses.”

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,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah and burn down its palaces while troops are shouting on the day of battle and winds are howling on the day of the storm.

Her king will go into exile, he and his officials together,” says the LORD.
