Lamentations 4:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Those who ·chased [pursued] us
    were faster than eagles in the ·sky [heavens].
They ·ran [chased] us into the mountains
    and ambushed us in the ·desert [wilderness].

²⁰ The Lord’s ·appointed king [anointed; ^CJudah’s king], ·who was our very breath [^Lthe breath of our life/nostrils],
    was caught in their traps [2 Kin. 25:5–7].
We had said about him, “We will ·be protected by him [^Llive in his shadow/shade]
    among the nations.”

²¹ Be happy and ·glad [rejoice], ·people [^Ldaughter] of Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz [^Ccity in Edom; Job 1:1; Jer. 25:20].
The cup [^Cof God’s judgment] will ·come [pass] to you;
    then you will get drunk and go naked [Jer. 25:15–38; 49:12–13].
