Lamentations 3:34-39 American Standard Version (ASV)

34. To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

37. Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

38. Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?

39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
