西番雅書2:8-11



2:8 我聽見摩押人的毀謗和亞捫人的辱罵,就是毀謗我的百姓,自誇自大,侵犯他們的境界。
2:9 萬軍之耶和華─以色列的上帝說:我指著我的永生起誓:摩押必像所多瑪,亞捫人必像蛾摩拉,都變為刺草、鹽坑、永遠荒廢之地。我百姓所剩下的必擄掠他們;我國中所餘剩的必得著他們的地。
2:10 這事臨到他們是因他們驕傲,自誇自大,毀謗萬軍之耶和華的百姓。
2:11 耶和華必向他們顯可畏之威,因他必叫世上的諸神瘦弱。列國海島的居民各在自己的地方敬拜他。

I have heard the taunts of Moab
and the revilings of the Ammonites,
how they have taunted my people
and made boasts against their territory.
  Therefore, as I live,” declares the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel,
Moab shall become like Sodom,
and the Ammonites like Gomorrah,
a land possessed by nettles and salt pits,
and a waste forever.
The remnant of my people shall plunder them,
and the survivors of my nation shall possess them.”
  This shall be their lot in return for their pride,
because they taunted and boasted
against the people of the Lord of hosts.
  The Lord will be awesome against them;
for he will famish all the gods of the earth,
and to him shall bow down,
each in its place,
all the lands of the nations.

    摩押人和亞捫人對於上帝的子民不好所以將要受到上帝的審判和攻擊!可見上帝是不容許他的子民被毀謗的。也因此,教會的弟兄姊妹不可以互相毀謗對方,以免遭上帝之憤怒!
