Bible in Basic English
"Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;"
— Lamentations 3:40, Bible in Basic English
“ Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah. ”
Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?
Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High?
What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?
Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;
Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.
We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.
Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;
