Jeremiah 49:2

Study

       

2 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap -- a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.

Commentary

 

Revile

  

To revile something -- or "reproach," as it is often translated -- represents making a direct and deliberate attack on what is spiritually true, in an effort to destroy it.
