כֹּה אָמַר יְהֹוָה עַל־שְׁלֹשָׁה פִּשְׁעֵי בְנֵֽי־עַמּוֹן וְעַל־אַרְבָּעָה לֹא אֲשִׁיבֶנּוּ עַל־בִּקְעָם הָרוֹת הַגִּלְעָד לְמַעַן הַרְחִיב אֶת־גְּבוּלָֽם׃
Thus says the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of ῾Ammon, I will turn away their punishment, but for the fourth I will not turn away their punishment; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gil῾ad, that they might enlarge their border:

וְהִצַּתִּי אֵשׁ בְּחוֹמַת רַבָּה וְאָכְלָה אַרְמְנוֹתֶיהָ בִּתְרוּעָה בְּיוֹם מִלְחָמָה בְּסַעַר בְּיוֹם סוּפָֽה׃
but I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba, and it shall devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the storm:

בקעם הרות הגלעד. השחיתו אותה וגם הרותיהם בקעו שלא ישאר יורש שיערער על הנחלה וכן אומר (בירמיהו מ״ט:א׳) לבני עמון כה אמר ה' הבנים אין לישראל אם יורש אין לו מדוע ירש מלכם:

And so does Scripture state: (Jer. 49:1) “Concerning the children of Ammon. So said the Lord: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why has Malcam taken possession of Gad?”
