## Lamentations 3:25-32 in Context (Verses 22–35 KJV)
 
 [22 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/22) ¶ *It is of* the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/23) *They are* new every morning: great *is* thy faithfulness.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/24) The LORD *is* my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/25) The LORD *is* good unto them that wait for him, to the soul *that* seeketh him.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/26) *It is* good that *a man* should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/27) *It is* good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/28) He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne *it* upon him.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/29) He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/30) He giveth *his* cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/31) For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
 
 [32 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/32) But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/33) For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.*
 
 [34 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/34) To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
 
 [35 ](/kjv/lamentations/3/35) To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,*
