18. They tracked us down, those hunters.It wasn’t safe to go out in the street.Our end was near, our days numbered.We were doomed.
19. They came after us faster than eagles in flight,pressed us hard in the mountains, ambushed us in the desert.
20. Our king, our life’s breath, the anointed of God,was caught in their traps—Our king under whose protectionwe always said we’d live.
21. Celebrate while you can, O Edom!Live it up in Uz!For it won’t be long before you drink this cup, too.You’ll find out what it’s like to drink God’s wrath,Get drunk on God’s wrathand wake up with nothing, stripped naked.
