Lamentations 3:24-32

24“Adonai is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”

25Adonai is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him.

26It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of Adonai.

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

28Let him sit alone and be silent, since He has laid it upon him.

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

30Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes him. Let him have his fill of disgrace.

31For the Lord will not reject forever.

32For though He has caused grief, yet He will have compassion according to His abundant mercies.
