Jeremiah 48:41

A Message Concerning Moab

⁴⁰ For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle
And spread out his wings against Moab.
⁴¹ “Kerioth has been captured
And the strongholds have been seized,
So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day
Will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
⁴² “Moab will be destroyed from being a people
Because he has become arrogant toward the Lord.
