Lamentations 4:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 The [a]breath of our nostrils, the Anointed of the Lord was taken in their nets, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall be preserved alive among the heathen.
21 Rejoice and be glad, [b]O daughter Edom: that dwellest in the land of Uz, the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken [c]and vomit.
22 Thy punishment is accomplished, O daughter Zion: he [d]will no more carry thee away into captivity, but he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter Edom, he will discover thy sins.
