Zephaniah 2:8
New King James Version
8 “I(A) have heard the reproach of Moab,
And (B)the insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And (C)made arrogant threats against their borders.
Amos 1:13
New King James Version
13 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.
Ezekiel 25:3-11
New King James Version
3 Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: (A)“Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, 4 indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the [a]men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. 5 And I will make (B)Rabbah (C)a stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. (D)Then you shall know that I am the Lord.”
6 ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you (E)clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and (F)rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, 7 indeed, therefore, I will (G)stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Proclamation Against Moab
8 ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because (H)Moab and (I)Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ 9 therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and (J)Kirjathaim. 10 (K)To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites (L)may not be remembered among the nations. 11 And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.”

New King James Version
27 For (A)was not Israel a derision to you?
(B)Was he found among thieves?
For whenever you speak of him,
You shake your head in (C)scorn.
28 You who dwell in Moab,
Leave the cities and (D)dwell in the rock,
And be like (E)the dove which makes her nest
In the sides of the cave’s mouth.
29 “We have heard the (F)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and (G)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

They [b]form a confederacy against You:
6 (B)The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites;
Moab and the Hagrites;
7 Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek;
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
