Lamentations 3:21-39

21This I recallH7725 to my mindH3820, therefore have I hopeH3176.

22It is of the LORD’SH3068 merciesH7356 that weH3588 are notH3808 consumedH3615, becauseH3588 his compassionsH7356 failH3615 notH3808.

23They are newH2319 everyH1242 morningH1242; greatH7227 is thy faithfulnessH530.

24The LORDH3068 is my portionH2506, saith my soulH5315; therefore will I hopeH3176 in him.

25The LORDH3068 is goodH2896 unto them that waitH6960 for him, to the soulH5315 that seeketh him.

26It is goodH2896 that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvationH8668 of the LORDH3068.

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

28Let him sitH3427 aloneH910 and keep silence, becauseH3588 he hath laidH5190 it uponH5921 him.

29LetH5414 him putH5414 his mouthH6310 in the dustH6083; ifH194 soH5414 be there may he hopeH8615.

30LetH5414 him giveH5414 his cheekH3895 to him that smiteth him; letH5414 him be filledH7646 fullH7646 with reproachH2781.

31For the LordH136 will notH3808 cast off for everH5769.

32For thoughH3588 he cause griefH3013, yet will he have compassionH7355 according to the multitudeH7230 of his mercies.

33For he doth notH3808 afflictH6031 willingly, norH3808 grieveH3013 the childrenH1121 of menH376.

34To crushH1792 underH8478 footH7272 allH3605 the prisonersH615 of the earthH776,

35To turnH5186 asideH5186 the rightH4941 of a manH1397 beforeH6440 the faceH6440 of the Most HighH5186,

36To subvertH5791 a manH120 in his causeH7379, the LordH136 approveth notH3808.

37Who is he that saith, and it cometh to passH1961, when the LordH136 commandeth it notH3808?

38OutH3318 of the mouthH6310 of the Most High cometh there notH3808 evilH7451 and goodH2896?

39Wherefore doth a livingH2416 manH120 complainH596, a manH120 for the punishment of his sinsH2399?
