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.

22 Your punishment is complete, Jerusalem.
    He will not keep you in captivity any longer.
But the Lord will punish your wrongs, people of Edom.
    He will uncover your sins.

    you who live in the land of Uz.(D)
But to you also the cup(E) will be passed;

    he will not prolong your exile.
But he will punish your sin, Daughter Edom,
    and expose your wickedness.(H)
