Jeremiah 48:41

A Message Concerning Moab

⁴⁰ For the Lord says, "Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings a nation will swoop down on Moab. ⁴¹ Her towns will be captured. Her fortresses will be taken. At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened like a woman in labor. ⁴² Moab will be destroyed and no longer be a nation, because she has vaunted herself against the Lord.
