Lamentations 3:31-37

Amplified Bible

³¹ 
For the Lord will not reject forever,^(A)
32 
For if He causes grief,
Then He will have compassion
According to His abundant lovingkindness and tender mercy.
³³ 
For He does not afflict willingly and from His heart
Or grieve the children of men.^(B)
34 
To trample and crush under His feet
All the prisoners of the land,
³⁵ 
To deprive a man of justice
In the presence of the Most High,
³⁶ 
To defraud a man in his lawsuit—
The Lord does not approve of these things.
³⁷ 
Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass,
Unless the Lord has authorized and commanded it?
