Amos 1:14

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;" — Amos 1:14 (ASV)

Jeremiah gives a vivid account of the impending doom of Ammon, quoting and expanding this very passage (Jeremiah 49:1–3).
