Lamentations 4:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ Our pursuers were faster than eagles in the sky.
    On the mountains they were in hot pursuit of us. In the wilderness they waited to ambush us.
²⁰ The life breath for our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,^[a] was caught in their pits.
    We had said of him, “In his shadow we will live among the nations.”
²¹ Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, who dwells in the land of Uz.
    A cup will also come to you. You will become drunk and naked.
