31 For the Lord will not reject forever, [Ps 94:14]

32 For if He causes grief,

Then He will have compassion

According to His abundant lovingkindness and tender mercy.

33 For He does not afflict willingly and from His heart

Or grieve the children of men. [Ezek 18:23, 32; Hos 11:8; Heb 12:5-10; 2 Pet 3:9]
