Lamentations 3:22-33

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)
