Jeremiah 48:40-42

Contemporary English Version

⁴⁰ Moab, an enemy swoops down
like an eagle spreading its wings
    over your land.
⁴¹ Your cities^[a] and fortresses
    will be captured,
and your warriors as fearful
    as women giving birth.^[b]
42 You are finished as a nation,
because you dared oppose me,
    the Lord.
