Jeremiah 48:38-40
Lexham English Bible
38 On all the roofs of Moab, and in its public squares,
there is wailing everywhere.
For I have broken Moab like a vessel,
there is no delight in it,” declares[a] Yahweh.
39 “How it is filled with terror! How they wail!
How Moab has turned his back! He is disgraced!
So Moab has become as a derision,
and as a terror for all his surrounding peoples.”
40 For thus says Yahweh,
“Look, like an eagle he will swoop down,
and he will spread out his wings against Moab.
