26 It is good to wait quietlyfor the Lord to save.
27 It is good for someone to work hardwhile he is young.
28 He should sit alone and be quiet;the Lord has given him hard work to do.
29 He should bow down to the ground;maybe there is still hope.
30 He should let anyone slap his cheek;he should be filled with shame.
31 The Lord will not rejecthis people forever.
32 Although he brings sorrow,he also has mercy and great love.
