New King James Version

Lamentations 3:26-30 New King James Version (NKJV)

26. It is good that one should hope and wait quietlyFor the salvation of the Lord.

27. It is good for a man to bearThe yoke in his youth.

28. Let him sit alone and keep silent,Because God has laid it on him;

29. Let him put his mouth in the dust—There may yet be hope.

30. Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,And be full of reproach.
