Jeremiah 48

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.
