Jeremiah 48:40 in Context — Jeremiah 48

38 Sobre todas las techumbres de Moab y en sus calles, todo él será llanto; porque yo quebranté á Moab como á vaso que no agrada, dice Jehová.

39 Aullad: ¡Cómo ha sido quebrantado! ¡cómo volvió la cerviz Moab, y fué avergonzado! Y fué Moab en escarnio y en espanto á todos los que están en sus alrededores.

40 Porque así ha dicho Jehová: He aquí que como águila volará, y extenderá sus alas á Moab.

41 Tomadas son las ciudades, y tomadas son las fortalezas; y será aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Moab como el corazón de mujer en angustias.

42 Y Moab será destruído para dejar de ser pueblo: porque se engrandeció contra Jehová.
