Lamentations 3:25-33
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.
33For he doth not afflictH6031 willinglyH3820 nor grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376.1
