Lamentations:3:22-39-40
Seeker Overlay ON
*
It is of the LORDS mercies that we are not consumed ,
because his compassions fail not .
*
They are new every morning :
great is thy faithfulness .
*
The LORD is my portion ,
saith my soul ;
therefore will I hope in him .
*
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him ,
to the soul that seeketh him .
*
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD .
*
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth na #
uwr #.
*
He sitteth alone and keepeth silence ,
because he hath borne it upon him .
*
He putteth his mouth in the dust ;
if so be there may be hope .
*
He giveth 8799 )
his cheek to him that smiteth him :
he is filled full with reproach .
*
For the Lord will not cast off for ever :
*
But though he cause grief ,
yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies .
*
For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men .
*
To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth ,
*
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High ,
*
To subvert a man in his cause ,
the Lord approveth not .
*
Who is he that saith ,
and it cometh to pass ,
when the Lord commandeth it not ?
*
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good ?
*
Wherefore doth a living man complain ,
a man for the punishment of his sins ?
