24“The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in Him.”
25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
to the soul who seeks Him.
26It is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
27It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is still young.
28Let him sit alone in silence,
for God has disciplined him.
29Let him bury his face in the dust —
perhaps there is still hope.
— Lamentations 3:24-29
