Jeremiah 48:40-42
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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)
42 Moab shall be wiped out, a people no more,
because it set itself over against the Lord.(C)
