Lamentations 3:19-32 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

19. Remember my misery and bitterness, the wormwood and venom!

20. Surely my soul remembers and bows down within me.

21. This I have reminded myself, therefore I will hope.

22. The loyal love of Yahweh does not cease; his compassions do not come to an end.

23. They are new in the morning, great is your faithfulness.

24. “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul, “Thus I will hope on him.”

25. Yahweh is good to those who wait on him, to the person that seeks him.

26. It is good to wait in silence for the salvation of Yahweh.

27. It is good for a man who carries the yoke of his childhood.

28. Let him sit alone and be silent when he has laid it on him.

29. Let him put his mouth in the dust; perhaps there is hope.

30. Let him give a cheek to his smiter, let him be filled with disgrace.

31. For the Lord will not reject forever.

32. For even though he causes grief he has compassion according to the greatness of his royal love.
