20 The (A)breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,
(B)Was caught in their pits,
Of whom we said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”

21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of (C)Edom,
You who dwell in the land of Uz!
(D)The cup shall also pass over to you
And you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.

22 (E)The punishment of your iniquity [a]is accomplished,
O daughter of Zion;
He will no longer send you into captivity.
(F)He will punish your iniquity,
O daughter of Edom;
He will uncover your sins!
