Jeremiah 48:39-41
Modern English Version
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:
Look, one will fly as an eagle
and spread his wings against Moab.
41 Kerioth has been captured,
and the strongholds have been seized,
and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab in that day
will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Jeremiah 48:39-41

39 “How shattered(A) she is! How they wail!
How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,(B)
an object of horror to all those around her.”
40 This is what the Lord says:
