Klagesangene 3,30

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.

La ham tilby sin kinn til den som slår ham, og la ham bli fylt med vanære.

31 Men det er ikke Herrens vilje å forkaste for alltid.

32 Selv om han forårsaker sorg, vil han vise medfølelse, i henhold til sin rike miskunn.

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