Lamentations 3:33

Compare all

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.

33 For ^aHe does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men.

34 To crush under one’s feet
All the prisoners of the earth,

35 To turn aside the justice due a man
Before the face of the Most High,

Lamentations 3:33

Willingly - Not from his own mere motion without a cause given him from the persons afflicted. Hence judgment is called God's strange work.
