Jeremiah 49:22

Behold, he shall come up, and fly as the eagle ,.... The Targum is,

"behold, as an eagle comes up and flies, so shall a king come up with his army;'

the king of Babylon with his army, compared to an eagle for his swiftness and voraciousness, as before to a lion for his strength and fierceness:

and spread his wings over Bozrah ; besiege that city, invest it, and seize upon it; very fitly are the wings of an army expressed by the wings of this bird, denoting both their extent and force; the same is said concerning Moab, Jeremiah 48:40 ;

and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Moab be as the heart of a woman in her pangs ; when just ready to be delivered; not only weak and timorous, but full of anguish, and: quite dispirited; See Gill on Jeremiah 48:41 .
