Lamentations:3:22-39
rsv@Lamentations:3:22 @ The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
rsv@Lamentations:3:23 @ they are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
rsv@Lamentations:3:24 @ "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
rsv@Lamentations:3:25 @ The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
rsv@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
rsv@Lamentations:3:27 @ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
rsv@Lamentations:3:28 @ Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him;
rsv@Lamentations:3:29 @ let him put his mouth in the dust-- there may yet be hope;
rsv@Lamentations:3:30 @ let him give his cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults.
rsv@Lamentations:3:31 @ For the Lord will not cast off for ever,
rsv@Lamentations:3:32 @ but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
rsv@Lamentations:3:33 @ for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.
rsv@Lamentations:3:34 @ To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
rsv@Lamentations:3:35 @ to turn aside the right of a man in the presence of the Most High,
rsv@Lamentations:3:36 @ to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
rsv@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who has commanded and it came to pass, unless the Lord has ordained it?
rsv@Lamentations:3:38 @ Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and evil come?
rsv@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why should a living man complain, a man, about the punishment of his sins?
