Jeremiah 48:40–44 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

43 Terror and pit and snare await you, O dweller of Moab,” declares the LORD.

44 “Whoever flees the panic will fall into the pit, and whoever climbs from the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring upon Moab the year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.
