Lamentations 3:22

Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"[It is of] Jehovah`s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." — Lamentations 3:22 (ASV)

It is of the Lord’s mercies. —It is, perhaps, part of the elaborate art of this poem that Lamentations 3:22-42, which form its centre, and that of the whole book, represent the highest point of trust to which the mourner attains, being both preceded and followed by words of lamentation.
