Lamentations 4:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter
    than soaring eagles;^[a]
they pursued us over the mountains,
    lying in wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ The Lord’s anointed,
    the breath of our life,
        was captured in their pits.
About him we had said,
    “Under his protection we will survive
        among the nations.”

²¹ Celebrate and rejoice, you women^[b] of Edom,
    who live in the land of Uz.
But to you the cup also will pass—
    you will become drunk and stripped naked.
