Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz ... thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. 4:21

Trivia: Who did the author of Lamentations say would get drunk and naked?

Lamentations : Science (1)

  1. "The daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches." 4:3

    Ostriches are not cruel and inattentive parents, as this verse implies. They are, in fact, careful and attentive parents. The male scoops out a hollow for the eggs, which are incubated by the female during the day and the male at night. After the eggs are hatched, they are cared for by the mother for over a month, at which time the chicks can keep up with running adults.
