Lamentations 3:21-39

21— This I recall to heartH3820, thereforeH3651 have I hopeH3176.

22It is of Jehovah's loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassionsH7356 failH3615 not;

23they are newH2319 every morningH1242: greatH7227 is thy faithfulnessH530.

24Jehovah is my portionH2506, saith my soulH5315; thereforeH3651 will I hopeH3176 in him.

25Jehovah is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 [that] seeketh him.

26It is goodH2896 that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvationH8668 of Jehovah.

27It is goodH2896 for a manH1397 that he bearH5375 the yokeH5923 in his youthH5271:

28He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;

29he putteth his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083, if so be there may be hopeH8615;

30he giveth his cheekH3895 to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproachH2781.

31For the LordH136 will not cast off for everH5769;

32but if he have caused griefH3013, he will have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his loving-kindnesses:

33for he doth not willingly afflictH6031 or grieve the children of menH376.

34To crushH1792 under footH7272 all the prisonersH615 of the earthH776,

35to turnH5186 asideH5186 the rightH4941 of a manH1397 before the faceH6440 of the Most High,

36to wrong a manH120 in his causeH7379, — will not the LordH136 seeH7200 it?

37Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the LordH136 hath not commandedH6680?

38Out of the mouthH6310 of the Most High doth not there proceed evilH7451 and goodH2896?

39Wherefore doth a living manH120 complainH596, a manH120 for the punishment of his sinsH2399?
