39 “How it is broken down!
    How they wail!
How Moab has turned the back with shame!
    So will Moab become a derision
    and a terror to all who are around him.”

    will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

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