Behold, he shall come up and fly as 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 pangs.
Look, he's going to swoop down like an eagle and spread his wings over Bozrah. When that day comes, even the strongest warriors in Edom will be terrified and panicked, like someone going through the most intense pain.
When God's judgment comes, even the toughest people won't be able to handle what's about to go down.
