Jeremiah 48:40-42

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁰ For thus says the Lord:
Look, he shall swoop down like an eagle,
    and spread his wings against Moab;
⁴¹ the towns^[a] shall be taken
    and the strongholds seized.
The hearts of the warriors of Moab, on that day,
    shall be like the heart of a woman in labor.
⁴² Moab shall be destroyed as a people,
    because he magnified himself against the Lord.
