Ekhah 3:31-38 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

31. For Adonoi will not cast off l'olam (forever);

32. But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the rov chasadav (the multitude of His mercies).

33. For He doth not afflict willingly nor bring grief to Bnei Ish.

34. To crush under His feet kol asirei eretz (all the prisoners of the earth),

35. To turn aside the mishpat gever (the right of a man) before the face of Elyon,

36. To subvert a man in his cause, Adonoi approveth not.

37. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when Adonoi commandeth it not?

38. Out of the mouth of Elyon proceedeth not hara'ot (the woe) and hatov (the good)?
