Lamentations 4:19-21
New King James Version
19 Our pursuers were (A)swifter
Than the eagles of the heavens.
They pursued us on the mountains
And lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 The (B)breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,
(C)Was caught in their pits,
Of whom we said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”
21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of (D)Edom,
You who dwell in the land of Uz!
(E)The cup shall also pass over to you
And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.
Lamentations 4:19-21
English Standard Version
19 Our pursuers were (A)swifter
than the eagles in the heavens;
they chased us on the mountains;
they lay in wait for us in the wilderness.
20 (B)The breath of our nostrils, (C)the Lord's anointed,
was captured (D)in their pits,
of whom we said, (E)“Under his shadow
we shall live among the nations.”
21 (F)Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom,
you who dwell in (G)the land of Uz;
but to you also (H)the cup shall pass;
you shall become drunk and strip yourself bare.
