³⁹ Moab has been shattered! Cry out! Moab has been disgraced. It is in ruins, and all the surrounding nations make fun of it. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

No Escape for Moab

⁴⁰ The Lord has promised that a nation will swoop down on Moab like an eagle with its outspread wings, ⁴¹ and the towns and fortresses will be captured. On that day Moab's soldiers will be as frightened as a woman in labor.
