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.
