31. The Lord is merciful and will not reject us for ever.
32. He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure and strong.
33. He takes no pleasure in causing us grief or pain.
34. The Lord knows when our spirits are crushed in prison;
35. He knows when we are denied the rights he gave us;
36. When justice is perverted in court, he knows.
37. The will of the Lord alone is always carried out.
38. Good and evil alike take place at his command.
39. Why should we ever complain when we are punished for our sin?
