Lamentations 3:22-33
English Standard Version
22 (A)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
(B)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (C)every morning;
(D)great is your faithfulness.
24 (E)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
(F)“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who (G)wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26 (H)It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
27 (I)It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke (J)in his youth.
28 Let him (K)sit alone in silence
when it is laid on him;
29 (L)let him put his mouth in the dust—
there may yet be hope;
30 (M)let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,
and let him be filled with insults.
31 (N)For the Lord will not
cast off forever,
32 but, though he (O)cause grief, (P)he will have compassion
(Q)according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33 (R)for he does not afflict from his heart
or (S)grieve the children of men.

Proverbs 8:1-11
English Standard Version
The Blessings of Wisdom
8 Does not (A)wisdom call?
Does not (B)understanding raise her voice?
2 On (C)the heights beside the way,
at the crossroads she takes her stand;
3 beside (D)the gates in front of (E)the town,
at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud:
4 “To you, O (F)men, I call,
and my cry is to (G)the children of man.
5 O (H)simple ones, learn (I)prudence;
O (J)fools, learn sense.
6 Hear, for I will speak (K)noble things,
and from my lips will come (L)what is right,
7 for my (M)mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are righteous;
there is nothing (N)twisted or crooked in them.
9 They are all (O)straight to him who understands,
and right to those who find knowledge.
10 (P)Take my instruction instead of silver,
and knowledge rather than choice gold,
11 (Q)for wisdom is better than jewels,
and (R)all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
