Lamentations 3:26-47
26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
28Let him sit alone in silence,for the LORD has laid it upon him.29Let him bury his face in the dust—perhaps there is still hope.30Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him;let him be filled with reproach.
31For the Lord will notcast us off forever.32Even if He causes grief, He will show compassionaccording to His abundant loving devotion.33For He does not willingly afflictor grieve the sons of men.
34To crush underfootall the prisoners of the land,35to deny a man justicebefore the Most High,36to subvert a man in his lawsuit—of these the Lord does not approve.
37Who has spoken and it came to pass,unless the Lord has ordained it?38Do not both adversity and goodcome from the mouth of the Most High?39Why should any mortal man complain,in view of his sins?
40Let us examine and test our ways,and turn back to the LORD.41Let us lift up our hearts and handsto God in heaven:42“We have sinned and rebelled;You have not forgiven.”
