Lamentations 3:24-32

24My soul can say, ‘The Lord is my lot ⌞in life⌟. That is why I find hope in him.’

25The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to anyone who seeks help from him.

26“It is good to continue to hope and wait silently for the Lord to save us.

27It is good for people to endure burdens when they’re young.

28They should sit alone and remain silent because the Lord has laid these burdens on them.

29They should put their mouths in the dust. Maybe a reason to hope exists.

30They should turn their cheeks to the one who strikes them and take their fill of insults.

31“The Lord will not reject ⌞such⌟ people forever.

32Even if he makes us suffer, he will have compassion in keeping with the richness of his mercy.
