18 Our steps were closely followedso that we could not walk in our streets.Our end drew near; our time ran out.Our end had come!
19 Those who chased us were swifterthan eagles in the sky; they relentlessly pursued us over the mountainsand ambushed us in the wilderness.
20 The Lord’s anointed, the breath of our life, was captured in their traps.We had said about him,“We will live under his protection among the nations.”
21 So rejoice and be glad, Daughter Edom, you resident of the land of Uz! Yet the cup will pass to you as well;you will get drunk and expose yourself.
22 Daughter Zion, your punishment is complete;He will not lengthen your exile. But He will punish your iniquity, Daughter Edom,and will expose your sins.
