Lamentations 3:26-47
26It is goodH2896 to waitH3175 quietlyH1748 for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.27It is goodH2896 for a manH1397H3588 to bearH5375 the yokeH5923 while he is still youngH5271.
28Let him sitH3427 aloneH910 in silenceH1826,forH3588 the LORD has laid itH5190 upon himH5921.29Let him buryH5414 his faceH6310 in the dustH6083—perhapsH194 there isH3426 still hopeH8615.30Let him offerH5414 his cheekH3895 to the one who would strike himH5221;let him be filledH7646 with reproachH2781.
31ForH3588 the LordH136 will notH3808cast us offH2186 foreverH5769.32EvenH3588 ifH518 He causes griefH3013, He will show compassionH7355according to His abundantH7230 loving devotionH2617.33ForH3588 He does notH3808 willinglyH3820 afflictH6031or grieveH3013 the sonsH1121 of menH376.
34To crushH1792 underfootH8478H7272allH3605 the prisonersH615 of the landH776,35to denyH5186 a manH1397 justiceH4941beforeH5048H6440 the Most HighH5945,36to subvertH5791 a manH120 in his lawsuitH7379—of these the LordH136 does notH3808 approveH7200.
37WhoH4310H2088 has spokenH559 and it came to passH1961,unlessH3808 the LordH136 has ordained itH6680?38Do notH3808 both adversityH7451 and goodH2896comeH3318 from the mouthH6310 of the Most HighH5945?39WhyH4100 should any mortalH2416 manH120 complainH596,in view ofH5921 his sinsH2399?
40Let us examineH2664 and testH2713 our waysH1870,and turn backH7725 toH5704 the LORDH3068.41Let us lift upH5375 our heartsH3824 and handsH3709toH413 GodH410 in heavenH8064:42“WeH5168 have sinnedH6586 and rebelledH4784;YouH859 have notH3808 forgivenH5545.”
