American Standard Version
"For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. "
— Lamentations 3:33, American Standard Version
“For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.”
“For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.”
“For he is not predisposed to afflict or to grieve people.”
“Caph. For he hath not willingly afflicted, nor cast off the children of men.”
“For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men.”
“For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.”
Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
