Jeremiah predicted that the nation of Moab would be destroyed because of their defiant arrogance against the Lord.  Little did they know that God would not let it continue against Him. His judgement was to come with swiftness and horror. Their end came at the hand of southern tribes during the Persian period.

The point is that defiance and arrogance against God WILL be punished. They build a case against themselves, those who adopt a similar posture. If it goes unconfessed and unpardoned, God will retaliate.

Everyday we see persons on TV who display utter contempt for God. He sees it and will repay. Our wisest posture would be to pray for them rather than despising them.
