Lamentations 3:19-30 ASV
19 Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 20My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me. 21This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. 22It is of Jehovah’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. 24Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah. 27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him. 29Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope. 30Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
