20 The Lord’s appointed king, who was our very breath,
    was caught in their traps.
We had said about him, “We will be protected by him
    among the nations.”

21 Be happy and glad, people of Edom,
    you who live in the land of Uz.
The cup of God’s anger will come to you;

    He will not send you into captivity again.
But the Lord will punish the sins of Edom;
    he will uncover your evil.

    you who live in the land of Uz.(D)

    he will not prolong your exile.
But he will punish your sin, Daughter Edom,
    and expose your wickedness.(H)
