"מ(Mem) Whose command was ever fulfilled unless the Lord decreed it?"
— Lamentations 3:37, NET Bible
“Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?”
“Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? ”
“Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn't command it?”
“Mem. Who is he that hath commanded a thing to be done, when the Lord commandeth it not?”
“Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?”
“Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?”
ל(Lamed) To crush underfoot all the earth’s prisoners,
to deprive a person of his rights in the presence of the Most High,
to defraud a person in a lawsuit– the Lord does not approve of such things!
מ(Mem) Whose command was ever fulfilled unless the Lord decreed it?
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that everything comes– both calamity and blessing?
Why should any living person complain when punished for his sins?
נ(Nun) Let us carefully examine our ways, and let us return to the LORD.
