Lamentations 3:28

The LORD is good to those who wait for him,

to the soul who seeks him.

It is good that a man should hope

and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Let him put his mouth in the dust,

if it is so that there may be hope.

Let him give his cheek to him who strikes him.

Let him be filled full of reproach.

For the Lord will not cast off forever.
