Lamentations 3:27

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

When we are young, it is good to struggle hard

See the chapter Copy

When you corrected me, it did me good because it taught me to study your laws.

Teach us to use wisely all the time we have.

Our LORD, you bless everyone whom you instruct and teach by using your Law.

Keep your Creator in mind while you are young! In years to come, you will be burdened down with troubles and say, “I don't enjoy life any more.”

It is good to wait patiently for the LORD to save us.

and to sit silently alone, if this is what the LORD intends.
