Lamentations 3:31-38 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

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.

33. He does not afflict willingly, or grieve anyone.

34. To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth;

35. to deprive one of justice before the face of the Most High;

36. to subvert a person in a legal dispute —the Lord has not found delight in these things.

37. Who can speak and it will happen if the Lord has not commanded it?

38. Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that disaster and good will come?
