Lamentations - ch 3 v 21 - 40
- This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope.
- It is of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail.
- They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
- Yahweh is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
- Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
- It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.
- It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
- Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
- Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
- Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him; let him be filled full with reproach.
- For the Lord will not cast off forever.
- For though he cause grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
- For he does not afflict willingly, nor 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 subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn't approve.
- Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn't command it?
- Doesn't evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
- Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
- Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.
