THE HOLY BIBLE Authorized King James

Lamentations (Author Jeremiah)

3:21This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

3:22It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

3:23They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

3:24The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

3:25The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

3:26It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

3:27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

3:28He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

3:29He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

3:30He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.

3:31For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

3:32But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

3:33For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

3:34To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

3:35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

3:36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
