Lamentations 3:19-32
-
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
-
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
-
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
-
22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
-
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
-
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
-
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
-
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
-
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
-
28 He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
-
29 He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
-
30 He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
-
31 For the LORD will not cast off for ever:
-
32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
