38On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.
39How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.
40For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.
41Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.
42And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.
43Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.
44He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.
