Lamentations 3:24-32

24“My portion is the Lord,” I have said to myself, so I will put my hope in him. ט (Tet)

25The Lord is good to those who trust in him, to the one who seeks him.

26It is good to wait patiently for deliverance from the Lord.

27It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. י (Yod)

28Let a person sit alone in silence, when the Lord is disciplining him.

29Let him bury his face in the dust; perhaps there is hope.

30Let him offer his cheek to the one who hits him; let him have his fill of insults. כ (Kaf)

31For the Lord will not reject us forever.

32Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.
