Amplified Bible
Jeremiah 48:39-44
39“How it is broken down! How they have wailed! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab will become a laughingstock and a [horrifying] terror to all who are around him.”
40For thus says the Lord: “Behold, one (Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon) will fly swiftly like an eagle And spread out his wings against Moab.
41Kerioth [and the cities] has been taken And the strongholds seized; And the hearts of the warriors of Moab in that day Shall be like the heart of a woman in childbirth.
42Moab will be destroyed from being a nation (people) Because he has become arrogant and magnified himself against the Lord.
43Terror and pit and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.
44“The one who flees from the terror Will fall into the pit, And the one who gets up out of the pit Will be taken and caught in the trap; For I shall bring upon it, even upon Moab, The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
