30. Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
31. For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
32. For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
33. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
34. To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
37. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
38. Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?
39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
41. Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
42. We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.
43. Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
44. Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, so that no prayer can pass through.
45. Thou hast made us an off-scouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
