39 “Moab is shattered! The people are crying!
    Moab turns away in shame!
People all around her make fun of her.
    The things that happened fill them with fear.”

    “Look! An eagle is diving down from the sky.
    It spreads its wings over Moab.

At that time Moab’s warriors will be frightened.
    They will feel pain like a woman who is having a baby.

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

In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors(F)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(G)
