38. People are crying on every roof in Moaband in every public square.There is nothing but sadnessbecause I have broken Moablike a jar no one wants,” says the Lord.
39. “Moab is shattered! The people are crying!Moab turns away in shame!People all around her make fun of her.The things that happened fill them with fear.”
40. This is what the Lord says:“Look! An eagle is diving down from the sky.It spreads its wings over Moab.
41. The towns of Moab will be captured.The strong, walled cities will be defeated.At that time Moab’s warriors will be frightened.They will feel pain like a woman who is having a baby.
42. The nation of Moab will be destroyed.This is because they thought they were greater than the Lord.
43. Fear, deep pits and traps wait for you,people of Moab,” says the Lord.
