Lamentations 3:37
Verse 37 of 66. The 3rd of 5 chapters in Lamentations, in The Major Prophets.
33For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
37Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
38Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
39Why should a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
41Let’s lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
