A Message Concerning Moab

39 “How broken it is! They wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is ashamed. Moab will become a laughingstock and a shock to all those around him.” 40 For this is what the Lord says:

He will swoop down like an eagle
and spread his wings against Moab.
41 The towns have been captured,
and the strongholds seized.
In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors
will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.
