38. On all the rooftops of Moab and in all its squares there is mourning. I have shattered Moab like a pot that no one wants—oracle of the Lord.
39. How terrified they are, how they wail! How Moab turns its back in shame! Moab has become a laughingstock and a horror to all its neighbors!
40. For thus says the Lord:Look there! Like an eagle he swoops,spreading his wings over Moab.
41. Cities are captured,strongholds seized:On that day the hearts of Moab’s warriorsbecome like the heart of a woman in labor.
