Lamentations 3:24–25

²⁶My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

⁵The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot.

⁸¶ Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

³²The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
