Lamentations 3:41
Compare all
39 aWhy should a living man1 complain,
bA man for the punishment of his sins? 
40 Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the Lord;
41 aLet us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven. 
42 aWe have transgressed and rebelled;
You have not pardoned. 
43 You have covered Yourself with anger
And pursued us;
You have slain and not pitied.
