Lamentations 3:40

³⁸ Do not both adversity and good come from the mouth of the Most High?

³⁹ Why should any mortal man complain, in view of his sins?

Let us examine and test our ways, and turn back to the LORD.

⁴¹ Let us lift up our hearts and hands to God in heaven:

⁴² “We have sinned and rebelled; You have not forgiven.”

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