Jeremiah 48:39-41
Contemporary English Version

39 Moab lies broken!
Listen to its people cry
    as they turn away in shame.
Other nations are horrified
at what happened,
    but still they mock her.

40 Moab, an enemy swoops down
like an eagle spreading its wings
    over your land.
41 Your cities[a] and fortresses
    will be captured,
and your warriors as fearful
    as women giving birth.[b]
