New King James Version

Lamentations 4:19-22 New King James Version (NKJV)

19. Our pursuers were swifterThan the eagles of the heavens.They pursued us on the mountainsAnd lay in wait for us in the wilderness.

20. The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,Was caught in their pits,Of whom we said, “Under his shadowWe 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 over to youAnd you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.

22. The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished,O daughter of Zion;He will no longer send you into captivity.He will punish your iniquity,O daughter of Edom;He will uncover your sins!
