32 Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.
33 For (A)He does not afflict [a]willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men.

34 To crush under one’s feet
All the prisoners of the earth,
35 To turn aside the justice due a man
Before the face of the Most High,
36 Or subvert a man in his cause—
(B)The Lord does not approve.

37 Who is he (C)who speaks and it comes to pass,
When the Lord has not commanded it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That (D)woe and well-being proceed?
