Lamentations 4:17-22

American Standard Version

¹⁷ Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help:
In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
¹⁸ They hunt our steps, so that we cannot go in our streets:
Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the heavens:
They chased us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
²⁰ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was taken in their pits;
Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz:
The cup shall pass through unto thee also; thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
^22 [a]The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity:
He will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will uncover thy sins.
