Lamentations 3:32-39

GOD’S WORD Translation

³² Even if he makes us suffer,
he will have compassion
in keeping with the richness of his mercy.
³³ He does not willingly bring suffering or grief to anyone,
³⁴ crush any prisoner on earth underfoot,
³⁵ deny people their rights in the presence of the Most High God,
³⁶ or deprive people of justice in court.
The Lord isn’t happy to see ⌞these things⌟.
³⁷ Who was it who spoke and it came into being?
It was the Lord who gave the order.
³⁸ Both good and bad come from the mouth of the Most High God.
