Lamentations 3:29
King James VersionSource notes
“He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.”
Context
26good that should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
27good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
29He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
30He giveth cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
31For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
32But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
