Lamentations 3:22-39
Holman Christian Standard Bible
ח Khet
22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love(A)
we do not perish,[a]
for His mercies never end.
23 They are new every morning;
great is Your faithfulness!(B)
24 I say: The Lord is my portion,(C)
therefore I will put my hope in Him.
ט Tet
25 The Lord is good to those who wait(D) for Him,
to the person who seeks Him.
26 It is good to wait quietly(E)
for deliverance from the Lord.(F)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke(G)
while he is still young.
י Yod
28 Let him sit alone and be silent,(H)
for God has disciplined him.
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust(I)—
perhaps there is still hope.
30 Let him offer his cheek
to the one who would strike him;(J)
let him be filled with shame.
כ Kaf
31 For the Lord
will not reject us forever.
32 Even if He causes suffering,
He will show compassion
according to His abundant, faithful love.(K)
33 For He does not enjoy bringing affliction(L)
or suffering on mankind.
ל Lamed
34 Crushing all the prisoners of the land[b]
beneath one’s feet,
35 denying justice to a man(M)
in the presence of the Most High,
36 or suppressing a person’s lawsuit(N)—
the Lord does not approve of these things.
מ Mem
37 Who is there who speaks and it happens,
unless the Lord has ordained it?(O)
38 Do not both adversity and good
come from the mouth of the Most High?(P)
39 Why should any living person complain,
any man, because of the punishment for his sins?

Lamentations 3:22-39
New International Version
22 Because of the Lord’s great love(A) we are not consumed,(B)
for his compassions never fail.(C)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(D)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(E)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(F)
26 it is good to wait quietly(G)
for the salvation of the Lord.(H)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone in silence,(I)
for the Lord has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust(J)—
there may yet be hope.(K)
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,(L)
and let him be filled with disgrace.(M)
31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.(N)
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.(O)
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.(P)
