Lamentations 3:39

37 Who is he ^awho speaks and it comes to pass,
When the Lord has not commanded it?

38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That ^awoe and well-being proceed?

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.

44 You have covered Yourself with a cloud,
That prayer should not pass through.
