19 Our pursuers were swifter
    than the eagles of the heavens;
they chased us on the mountains,
    they have set an ambush for us in the desert.

    was captured in their pits;
of whom we said, “In his shadow
    we will live among the nations.”

    you who dwell in the land of Uz;
but to you also the cup will pass,
    you will become drunk and strip yourself bare.
