38On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD.
39“How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So will Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40For the LORD says: “Behold, he will fly as an eagle, and will spread out his wings against Moab.
41Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD.
