Klagesangene 3,27

25 Herren viser godhet mot dem som setter sitt håp til ham, til den som søker ham.

26 Det er gunstig å vente stille på Herrens frelse.

Det er fordelaktig for en mann å bære åket i sin ungdom.

28 La ham sitte alene i stillhet, for Herren har lagt det på ham.

29 La ham begrave ansiktet i støvet—kanskje det er håp.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
