27. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
28. Let him sit alone and be silent, for God has disciplined him.
29. Let him put his mouth in the dust —perhaps there is still hope.
30. Let him offer his cheekto the one who would strike him; let him be filled with shame.
31. For the Lordwill not reject us forever.
32. Even if He causes suffering,He will show compassionaccording to His abundant, faithful love.
33. For He does not enjoy bringing affliction or suffering on mankind.
34. Crushing all the prisoners of the land beneath one’s feet,
35. denying justice to a man in the presence of the Most High,
36. or suppressing a person’s lawsuit —the Lord does not approve of these things.
