Bible Comments

I have heard the reproach of Moab, Cf Jeremiah 48:27, and the revilings of the children of Amman, the two nations east of Jordan and of the Dead Sea, which were related to the children of Israel, but later became the enemies of God's people and made known their hostility in bitter blasphemies, whereby they have reproached my people, in proud mockery and scorn, and magnified themselves against their border, acted violently against the boundary of the Lord's people, constantly attempting to get into possession of some of Israel's territory.

Zephaniah 2:8
