Jeremiah 48:40-42

New International Reader's Version

“Look! Nebuchadnezzar is like an eagle diving down.
    He is spreading his wings over Moab.
⁴¹ Kerioth will be captured.
    Its forts will be taken.
At that time the hearts of Moab’s soldiers will tremble in fear.
    They will be like the heart of a woman having a baby.
⁴² Moab will be destroyed as a nation.
    That is because its people thought
    they were better than the Lord.
