— Lamentations 3:39, World English Bible
“Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?”
“Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? ”
“Why should any living person complain when punished for his sins?”
“Mem. Why hath a living man murmured, man suffering for his sins?”
“What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?”
“Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?”
To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn't approve.
Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn't command it?
Doesn't evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Yahweh.
Let us lift up our heart with our hands to God in the heavens.
We have transgressed and have rebelled; you have not pardoned.
