Lamentations 3:37-44 Common English Bible (CEB)

37. Who ever spoke and it happened if my Lord hadn’t commanded the same?

38. From the mouth of the Most High evil things don’t come, but rather good!

39. Why then does any living person complain; why should anyone complain about their sins?

40. We must search and examine our ways; we must return to the Lord.

41. We should lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven.

42. We are the ones who did wrong; we rebelled. But you, God, have not forgiven.

43. You wrapped yourself up in wrath and hunted us; you killed, showing no compassion.

44. You wrapped yourself up in a cloud; prayers can’t make it through!
