Lamentations 3:32–36 · Berean Standard Bible

32 Even if He causes grief, He will show compassion according to His abundant loving devotion.

33 For He does not willingly afflict or grieve the sons of men.

34 To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the land,

35 to deny a man justice before the Most High,

36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit— of these the Lord does not approve.
