WISDOM FROM LAMENTATIONS 3:
21 But in my mind I keep returning to something, something that gives me hope — 22 that the grace of Adonai is not exhausted, that his compassion has not ended. 23 [On the contrary,] they are new every morning! How great your faithfulness! 24 “Adonai is all I have,” I say; “therefore I will put my hope in him.
25 Adonai is good to those waiting for him, to those who are seeking him out. 26 It is good to wait patiently for the saving help of Adonai. 27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke from his youth. 28 Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him. 29 Let him submit absolutely; there may yet be hope. 30 Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes it, and receive his fill of insults.
31 For rejection by Adonai does not last forever. 32 He may cause grief, but he will take pity, in keeping with the greatness of his grace. 33 For he does not arbitrarily torment or punish human beings. (CJB)
