Lamentations 3:28–36
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.↗
29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if it is so that there may be hope.↗
30Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him. Let him be filled full of reproach.↗
31For the Lord will not cast off forever.↗
32For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.↗
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.↗
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,↗
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,↗
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.↗
