The Book of Lamentations, Chapter 3, Verse 32

For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

King James Version

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

American Standard Version

For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

New English Translation

Though he causes us grief, he then has compassion on us according to the abundance of his loyal kindness.

World English Bible

For though he cause grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.

To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,

To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

Who [is] he [that] saith, and it cometh to pass, [when] the Lord commandeth [it] not?

Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.

We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
