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.
