18. They tracked our stepsSo that we could not walk in our streets.Our end was near;Our days were over,For our end had come.
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.
