12 So I will start a fire at Teman that will destroy the high towers of Bozrah.”

Punishment for the Ammonites

13 This is what the Lord says: “I will definitely punish the Ammonites[a] for the many crimes they did. They killed the pregnant women in Gilead. The Ammonites did this so that they could take that land and make their country larger. 14 So I will start a fire at the wall of Rabbah[b] that will destroy the high towers of Rabbah. Troubles will come to them like a whirlwind[c] into their country.
