People would see that its people are very foolish. They would use their name as a curse. That is already happening today. 19I also took the cup of punishment to these people: Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his officers, his servants and his people; the foreign people who lived in Egypt; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines (They were the kings of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron and the people who were still living in Ashdod); 21the people of Edom, Moab and Ammon; 22all the kings of Tyre and all the kings of Sidon; the kings of the nations around the Mediterranean Sea;
