TSK · Zephaniah 2:8

The older daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab. He is the ancestor of the Moabites of today.

They say,“Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

“I, the LORD, also have something to say concerning the wicked nations who surround my land and have attacked and plundered the land that I gave to my people as a permanent possession. I say:‘I will uproot the people of those nations from their land and I will free the people of Judah who have been taken there.

For did not you people of Moab laugh at the people of Israel? Did you think that they were nothing but thieves, that you shook your head in contempt every time you talked about them?

A Prophecy Against Ammon The LORD’s message came to me:

A Prophecy Against Moab“This is what the Sovereign LORD says:‘Moab and Seir say,“Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.”

This is what the Sovereign LORD says: The enemy has spoken against you, saying“Aha!” and,“The ancient heights have become our property!”’

This is what the LORD says:“Because Moab has committed three crimes– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They burned the bones of Edom’s king into lime.
