Lamentations 3:25
Compare all
23 They are new aevery morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. 
24 “The Lord is my aportion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I bhope in Him!” 
25 The Lord is good to those who await for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him. 
26 It is good that one should ahope band wait quietly
For the salvation of the Lord. 
27 aIt is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth. 
28 aLet him sit alone and keep silent,
Because God has laid it on him; 
29 aLet him put his mouth in the dust—
There may yet be hope. 
30 aLet him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,
And be full of reproach.

Lamentations 3:25-27

In these three verses, each beginning in the Hebrew with the word good, we have first the fundamental idea that Yahweh Himself is good, and if good to all, then especially is He so to those who being in adversity can yet wait in confidence upon His mercy.

Lamentations 3:26

And quietly wait - literally, "and be in silence," i. e. abstain from all complaining.

Lamentations 3:27

The yoke - Or, a "yoke." By bearing a yoke in his youth, i. e. being called upon to suffer in early age, a man learns betimes the lesson of silent endurance, and so finds it more easy to be calm and patient in later years.
