Lamentations 4:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter
    than eagles in the heavens.
They hounded us over the mountains
    and lay in ambush for us in the wilderness.
²⁰ The Lord’s anointed,^[a] our breath of life,
    was caught in their traps,
he in whose shadow we thought
    that we could live in safety among the nations.
²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz.
But to you also the cup will be passed;
    you will become drunk and strip yourself naked.
