Jeremiah 48:40-44

Behold, he shall fly as an eagle Conquerors are often compared to eagles and other birds of prey; and the encamping of their armies is represented by the spreading of the wings of such fowls. The mighty men's hearts shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs They shall be dismayed at the apprehension of the evils that are coming upon them, and shall lose their wonted courage and resolution. Moab shall be destroyed from being a people From being a nation or government, as it was before. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, &c. These words, and those of the next verse, are taken from Isaiah 24:17, where see the notes.
