Condemnation of Moab and Ammon; Yahweh's Sovereignty Over the Nations

2
Chapter 2
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab and the taunts of the sons of Ammon, who taunted my people and magnified themselves over their border. 9 Therefore, as I live, says the LORD of Hosts, God of Israel: Moab shall be like Sodom, and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah, a possession of thorns and a mine of salt and desolation forever; the remnant of my people shall despise them, and the rest of the nations shall inherit them. 10 This is for them because of their pride, for they reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of Hosts. 11 The LORD will be fearsome over them, for he will make lean all the gods of the earth, and they will prostrate themselves to him, every man from his place, all the islands of the nations.
