Lamentations 3:27-33 for it causes him to sit apart in silence beneath the Lord’s demands, ²⁹ to lie face downward in the dust, then at last there is hope for him.
³⁰ Let him turn the other cheek to those who strike him, and accept their awful insults, ³¹ for the Lord will not abandon him forever.
³² Although God gives him grief, yet he will show compassion too, according to the greatness of his lovingkindness.
³³ For he does not enjoy afflicting men and causing sorrow. Amen.
