Jeremiah 48:40
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
In context
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in the public squares, everyone is mourning; for I have shattered Moab like an unwanted jar,” declares the LORD.
39 “How shattered it is! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule and horror to all those around him.”
40 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, an eagle swoops down and spreads his wings against Moab.
41 Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
42 Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he vaunted himself against the LORD.
