39 How it is broken down! How they have wailed!
    How Moab has turned his back with shame!
So Moab will be a derision
    and a terror to all around him.

40 For thus says the Lord:

and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab in that day
    will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

“Look! An eagle is swooping(C) down,
    spreading its wings(D) over Moab.

    and the strongholds taken.
In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors(F)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(G)
