Lamentations 3:24-32

24YhwhH3068 is my portionH2506, saithH559 my soulH5315; therefore will I hopeH3176 in him.

25YhwhH3068 is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 that seekethH1875 him.

26It is goodH2896 that a man should both hopeH2342H3175 and quietly waitH1748 for the salvationH8668 of YhwhH3068.

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

28He sittethH3427 aloneH910 and keepeth silenceH1826, because he hath borneH5190 it upon him.

29He puttethH5414 his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083; if so be there may beH3426 hopeH8615.

30He givethH5414 his cheekH3895 to him that smitethH5221 him: he is filled fullH7646 with reproachH2781.

31For the LordH136 will not cast offH2186 for everH5769:

32But though he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his merciesH2617.
