28. He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon him.
29. He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope.
30. He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with reproach.
31. For the Lord doth not cast off to the age.
32. For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to the abundance of His kindness.
33. For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He grieve the sons of men.
34. To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth,
35. To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face of the Most High,
36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved.
37. Who [is] this--he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord hath not commanded [it]?
38. From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and the good.
39. What--sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his sin?
40. We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto Jehovah.
41. We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens.
42. We--we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou--Thou hast not forgiven.
43. Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us; Thou hast slain-- Thou hast not pitied.
44. Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth not pass through.
