Lamentations 4:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Our hunters were faster than airborne eagles.
They chased us up the mountains; they ambushed us in the wilderness.

²⁰ The Lord’s chosen one, the very breath in our lungs, was caught in their traps—
the one we used to talk about, saying, “Under his protection we will live among the nations.”

²¹ Rejoice and be happy, Daughter Edom, you who live in the land of Uz.
But this cup will pass over to you too. You will get drunk on it. You will be stripped naked.
