20 The Lord’s anointed,
    the breath of our life,
        was captured in their pits.
About him we had said,
    “Under his protection we will survive
        among the nations.”

21 Celebrate and rejoice, you women[a] of Edom,
    who live in the land of Uz.
But to you the cup also will pass—
    you will become drunk and stripped naked.

    and God[c] will no longer exile you.
He will punish your iniquity, you women[d] of Edom,
    and he will expose your sins.
