Lamentations 3:28

²⁶ It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

²⁷ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

²⁹ He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.

³⁰ He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
