Lamentations 3:25-33

25The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

26It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the Lord.

27It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth.

28Let him sit alone and keep silent, Because God has laid it on him;

29Let him put his mouth in the dust— There may yet be hope.

30Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him, And be full of reproach.

31For the Lord will not cast off forever.

32Though He causes grief, Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies.

33For He does not afflict willingly, Nor grieve the children of men.
