Jeremiah 48:40-42

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴⁰For thus says the Lord:

“Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle,
    and spread his wings against Moab;
⁴¹the cities shall be taken
    and the strongholds seized.
The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day
    like the heart of a woman in her pangs;
⁴²Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people,
    because he magnified himself against the Lord.
