Jeremiah 48:40-42

Easy-to-Read Version

⁴⁰ The Lord says, “Look! An eagle is diving down from the sky.
    It is spreading its wings over Moab.
⁴¹ The towns of Moab will be captured.
    The strong hiding places will be defeated.
At that time Moab’s soldiers will be filled with fear,
    like a woman giving birth.
⁴² The nation of Moab will be destroyed,
    because they thought that they were more important than the Lord.”
