12 Por isso meterei fogo em Temã, que consumirá os palácios de Bosra.

13 Assim diz o SENHOR: Por três transgressões dos filhos de Amom, e pelo quarta, não desviarei [seu castigo] ; porque rasgaram o ventre das grávidas de Gileade, para expandirem seus territórios.

14 Por isso acenderei fogo no muro de Rabá, que consumirá seus palácios com grito no dia de batalha, com tempestade no dia do vento forte.

15 E seu rei irá ao cativeiro, e junto dele seus príncipes, diz o SENHOR.
