Therefore you will surely disappear, you eagle, and your terrifying wings, and your most evil little wings, and your malicious heads, and your most evil talons, and your whole worthless body: Because of the evil ways of the eagle (Rome), God emphasizes its downfall by mentioning the disappearance of every part of its body. For the different parts of the eagle, see verses 1, 3, and 7. Good News Bible gives an effective model for this verse.
