40 The Lord says,

“Look! Nebuchadnezzar is like an eagle diving down.
    He is spreading his wings over Moab.
41 Kerioth will be captured.
    Its forts will be taken.
At that time the hearts of Moab’s soldiers will tremble in fear.
    They will be like the heart of a woman having a baby.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation.
    That is because its people thought
    they were better than the Lord.

    because she defied(H) the Lord.
