Lamentations 4:21

Rejoice—at our calamities (Psalms 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 (Ecclesiastes 11:9).

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