Context of Lamentations 4:22

20The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the Lord [our king], Was captured in their snares, He of whom we had said, “Under his shadow We shall live among the nations.” 21Rejoice and be glad, O Daughter of Edom, Who lives in the land of Uz. But the cup [of the wine of God’s wrath] will pass to you as well; You will become drunk and make yourself naked. The punishment of your sin has been completed, O Daughter of Zion; The Lord will no longer send you into exile. But He will punish your sin, O Daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins.
