Jeremiah 48:39-41
Common English Bible
39 How it’s shattered! Go wail!
How Moab turns away!
What shame!
Moab has become the butt of every joke,
horrific to all its neighbors.
40 The Lord proclaims:
Look! One who soars like an eagle
and spreads its wings over Moab.
41 The towns will be captured;
the strongholds will be seized.
On that day, the heart of every soldier from Moab
will be like that of a woman in the throes of labor.
Jeremiah 48:39-41

39 “How shattered(A) she is! How they wail!
How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,(B)
an object of horror to all those around her.”
40 This is what the Lord says:

40 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
