Jeremiah 48:30

Arabic 2016 (الكِتاب المُقَدَّس: التَّرْجَمَةُ العَرَبِيَّةُ المُبَسَّطَةُ)

يَقُولُ اللهُ: «أنَا أعْرِفُ غَطرَسَتَهُ، يَتَبَاهَى كَذِبًا، وَلَا يَعْمَلُ بِمَا يَقُولُ.»

What Does This Mean?

In this verse, God is speaking and says that He knows the anger of Moab, but their anger won't have the effect they think it will. Their lies won't make a difference either. The key message is that God is in control, not the anger or lies of others.

Explained for Children
