³⁹ How it’s shattered! Go wail!
How Moab turns away!
    What shame!
Moab has become the butt of every joke,
    horrific to all its neighbors.

⁴⁰ The Lord proclaims:
    Look! One who soars like an eagle
        and spreads its wings over Moab.
⁴¹ The towns will be captured;
    the strongholds will be seized.
On that day, the heart of every soldier from Moab
    will be like that of a woman in the throes of labor.
