19 Our pursuers were swifter
    than eagles of the sky;
they pursued us over the mountains;
    they ambushed us in the wilderness.
20 The anointed of Adonai,

    of whom we have said,
“Under His shadow we will live among the nations.”

    you who dwell in the land of Uz.
To you also will the cup be passed.
    You will be drunk and stripped naked.

But to you also the cup(H) will be passed;
    you will be drunk and stripped naked.(I)
