There will be mourning everywhere, because I will break Moab like a jar that no one wants,” declares Yahweh. 39 “They will cry, ‘Look how Moab is defeated! Moab turns away in shame!’ Moab has become something ridiculed and something held in contempt by everyone around it.

40 “This is what Yahweh says:

The enemy will swoop down like eagles and spread their wings over Moab.

38 On all the roofs in Moab
    and in the public squares(A)
there is nothing but mourning,
    for I have broken Moab
    like a jar(B) that no one wants,”

39 “How shattered(C) she is! How they wail!
    How Moab turns her back in shame!

    an object of horror to all those around her.”

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