38 On all the roofs in Moab
    and in the public squares(A)
there is nothing but mourning,
    for I have broken Moab

39 “How shattered(C) she is! How they wail!
    How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,(D)
    an object of horror to all those around her.”

“Look! An eagle is swooping(E) down,
    spreading its wings(F) over Moab.

And (D)spread his wings over Moab.
