Lamentations 3:34-39

34Bad people may be cruel to those who are in prison.

35They may turn against the Most High God and cheat people.

36They may tell lies in court. The Lord is not happy when he sees any of those bad things.

37The Lord causes things to happen. Nobody can cause things to happen without him.

38The Most High God causes all things to happen. He causes good things and bad things to happen when he speaks.

39He only punishes us when we do wrong things. We are still alive, so we should not be angry with God.
