The Edomites lived in the region south of the Dead Sea, in what is now southern Jordan. Historically, Edom had a tumultuous relationship with Israel, often characterized by conflict and hostility. The Edomites refused passage to the Israelites during the Exodus (<a href="/numbers/20-14.htm">Numbers 20:14-21</a>), and their animosity continued throughout the Old Testament. Prophecies against Edom are found in several books, including <a href="/isaiah/34.htm">Isaiah 34</a>, <a href="/ezekiel/25.htm">Ezekiel 25</a>, and the entire book of Obadiah, which predicts Edom's downfall due to their pride and violence against their brother nation, Israel. The judgment against Edom in <a href="/jeremiah/25-21.htm">Jeremiah 25:21</a> is part of a broader divine retribution against nations that opposed God's people.<br><br>Moab: Moab was located east of the Dead Sea, in present-day central Jordan. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, through an incestuous relationship with his eldest daughter (<a href="/genesis/19-30.htm">Genesis 19:30-38</a>). Moab had a complex relationship with Israel, sometimes hostile and other times allied. The Moabite king Balak attempted to curse Israel through the prophet Balaam (Numbers 22-24), and Moabite women led Israel into idolatry and immorality at Baal Peor (Numbers 25). Despite these conflicts, Ruth, a Moabite woman, became an ancestor of King David and Jesus Christ, highlighting God's grace and redemption. Jeremiah's prophecy against Moab aligns with other biblical judgments, such as those in <a href="/isaiah/15.htm">Isaiah 15-16</a> and <a href="/amos/2.htm">Amos 2:1-3</a>, emphasizing Moab's pride and idolatry.<br><br>The Ammonites: The Ammonites, like the Moabites, were descendants of Lot, through his younger daughter (<a href="/genesis/19-38.htm">Genesis 19:38</a>). They inhabited the region northeast of the Dead Sea, in modern-day northern Jordan. The Ammonites frequently opposed Israel, as seen in their conflict during the time of the judges (Judges 10-11) and their alliance with other nations against Israel (2 Samuel 10). The Ammonites' god, Molech, was associated with child sacrifice, a practice condemned by God (<a href="/leviticus/18-21.htm">Leviticus 18:21</a>). Prophecies against Ammon are found in <a href="/ezekiel/25.htm">Ezekiel 25:1-7</a> and <a href="/amos/1-13.htm">Amos 1:13-15</a>, highlighting their cruelty and idolatry. Jeremiah's inclusion of the Ammonites in this judgment reflects their persistent enmity towards Israel and their moral corruption.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/edom.htm">Edom</a></b><br>A nation descended from Esau, Jacob's brother.
