nkjv Lamentations:3:22-39 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Through the LORD '
s mercies we are not consumed ,
Because His compassions fail not .
*
They are new every morning ;
Great is Your faithfulness .
* "
The LORD is my portion ,"
says my soul , "
Therefore I hope in Him !"
*
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him ,
To the soul who seeks Him .
*
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD .
*
It is good for a man to bear The yoke in his youth .
*
Let him sit alone and keep silent ,
Because God has laid it on him ;
*
Let him put his mouth in the dust --
There may yet be hope .
*
Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him ,
And be full of reproach .
*
For the Lord will not cast off forever .
*
Though He causes grief ,
Yet He will show compassion According to the multitude of His mercies .
*
For He does not afflict willingly ,
Nor grieve the children of men .
*
To crush under one '
s feet All the prisoners of the earth ,
*
To turn aside the justice due a man Before the face of the Most High ,
*
Or subvert a man in his cause --
The Lord does not approve .
*
Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass ,
When the Lord has not commanded it ?
*
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed ?
*
Why should a living man complain ,
A man for the punishment of his sins ?
