29. Let him put his mouth in the dust [in abject recognition of his unworthiness]–there may yet be hope. [Mic. 7:17.]
30. Let him give his cheek to the One Who smites him [even through His human agents]; let him be filled [full] with [men's] reproach [in meekness].
31. For the Lord will not cast off forever! [Ps. 94:14.]
32. But though He causes grief, yet will He be moved to compassion according to the multitude of His loving-kindness and tender mercy.
