Verse
Lamentations - ch 3 v 21 - 40
- -- This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope.
- It is of Jehovah's loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not;
- they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
- Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
- Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
- It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah.
- It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth:
- He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;
- he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope;
- he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach.
- For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
- but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses:
- for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
- To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
- to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
- to wrong a man in his cause, -- will not the Lord see it?
- Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded?
- Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good?
- Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
- Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
