Lamentations 3:28

Compare all

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.

31 ^aFor the Lord will not cast off forever.

32 Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.

Lamentations 3:28

He sitteth alone - He has learned that necessary lesson of independence, that shows him how he is to serve himself; to give no trouble to others; and keep his troubles, as far as possible, in his own bosom.
