27 It is good for a man to wear his yoke from the time he is young.
28 He should sit alone and be quiet when the Lord puts his yoke on him.
29 He should bow down to the Lord. Maybe there is still hope.
30 He should turn his cheek to the one who hits him and let people insult him.
31 He should remember that the Lord does not reject people forever.
32 When he punishes, he also has mercy. He has mercy because of his great love and kindness.
33 He does not enjoy causing people pain. He does not like to make anyone unhappy.
