25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,to the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good that a man should wait quietlyfor the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man to bear the yokein his youth.
28 Let him sit alone in silencewhen it is laid on him;
29 let him put his mouth in the dust—there may yet be hope.
30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,and let him be filled with insults.
31 For the Lordwill not cast off forever.
