Behold, he shall come up and fly like the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her birth pangs.
But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall plunder those of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman in birth labor: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in birth labor: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

Ask now, and see whether a man labors in giving birth? why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in birth labor, and all faces are turned to paleness?
For I have heard a voice as of a woman in birth labor, and the anguish as of her that brings forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewails herself, that spreads her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

Put the trumpet to your mouth. He shall come like an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
The LORD shall bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies; a nation whose tongue you shall not understand;
