Jeremiah 48:39-41
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
39 How terrified they are, how they wail! How Moab turns its back in shame! Moab has become a laughingstock and a horror to all its neighbors!
40 For thus says the Lord:
Look there! Like an eagle he swoops,
spreading his wings over Moab.(A)
41 Cities are captured,
strongholds seized:
On that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors
become like the heart of a woman in labor.(B)
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:
