How does God's judgment relate to the actions of the Ammonites and Moabites?

Answered in 1 source

God's judgment reflects both the actions taken and the omissions of the Ammonites and Moabites against His people.

In Deuteronomy 23:4, the Lord states that He will judge the Ammonites and Moabites based on their failure to assist Israel during their journey from Egypt, specifically mentioning their refusal to provide bread and water. This highlights a principle of divine judgment based on omission, where neglecting to do good carries weight in God's eyes. Furthermore, their active malevolence, as seen in their attempts to curse Israel through Balaam, adds another layer to their condemnation. God's judgment involves a comprehensive awareness of both the evil deeds done and the good opportunities missed. This serves as a warning that individuals will be held accountable not only for their actions but also for their inactions, especially concerning how they respond to God's people and His commands.
