“I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.”
I have heard the taunts of Moab and the revilings of the Ammonites, how they have taunted my people and made boasts against their borders—the indictment of Moab and Ammon addresses their mocking of Judah and encroachment on its territory. The taunt-speech constitutes rebellion against God's people and thus against God; these nations face judgment for their arrogance. The catalog of nations facing judgment grows, establishing comprehensive divine sovereignty.
