Christ, etc... This, according to the letter, is spoken of their king,
who is called the Christ, that is, the Anointed of the Lord. But it also
relates, in the spiritual sense, to Christ our Lord, suffering for our
sins.
4:21. Sin. Rejoice, and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in
the land of Hus: to thee also shall the cup come, thou shalt be made
drunk, and naked.
4:22. Thau. Thy iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Sion, he will no
more carry thee away into captivity: he hath visited thy iniquity, O
daughter of Edom, he hath discovered thy sins.

choir of the singers.

mourning.

sinned.

dim.

it.

generation to generation.

long time?

us.
