For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
He shall fly as an eagle. "He" - i:e., Nebuzaradan, the captain of Nebuchadnezzar.
As an eagle - not to hear them "on eagles' wings" (Exodus 19:4; Deuteronomy 32:11-12), as God does His people, but to pounce on them as a prey (Jeremiah 49:22; Deuteronomy 28:49; Habakkuk 1:8).
