‏ Lamentations 4:21

21. Rejoice--at our calamities (Psa 137:7). This is a prophecy that Edom should exult over the fall of Jerusalem. At the same time it is implied, Edom's joy shall be short-lived. Ironically she is told, Rejoice while thou mayest (Ec 11:9).

cup--for this image of the confounding effects of God's wrath, see Jr 13:12; 25:15, 16, 21; as to Edom, Jr 49:7-22.

Tau.
