Lamentations 4:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter
    than the eagles of the skies.
They pursued us on the mountains;
    they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

²⁰ The breath of our life, the anointed king of the Lord,
    was captured in their traps,
of whom we said, “Under his shadow
    we shall live among the nations.”

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
    you who dwell in the land of Uz!
The cup shall also pass to you;
    you shall become drunk and strip yourself bare.
