New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Lamentations 3
30 Let him give his cheek to the smiter, Let him be filled with reproach.
31 For the Lord will not reject forever,
32 For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness.
33 For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men.
34 To 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- Of these things the Lord does not approve.
37 Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth?
39 Why should any living mortal, or any man, Offer complaint in view of his sins?
40 Let us examine and probe our ways, And let us return to the Lord.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
