Lamentations 3:32-38

ESV

NIV

32 but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
33 for he does not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
34 To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the earth,
34 To crush underfoot all prisoners in the land,
35 to deny a man justice in the presence of the Most High,
35 to deny people their rights before the Most High,
36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit, the Lord does not approve.
36 to deprive them of justice— would not the Lord see such things?
37 Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?
37 Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?
38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?
