Lamentations 4:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ The men who chased us
    were faster than eagles in the sky.
They ran us into the mountains.
    They ambushed us in the desert.

²⁰ The Lord’s appointed king, who was our very breath,
    was caught in their traps.
We had said about him, “We will be protected by him
    among the nations.”

²¹ Be happy and glad, people of Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz.
But the Lord’s anger is like a cup of wine that you also will have to drink.
    Then you will get drunk on it and make yourselves naked.
