SCRIPTURE

"Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." — Lamentations 3:25 (ASV)

The Lord is good. —The alliterative form of the Hebrew makes “good” the first word of this and the two following verses, the adjective being affirmed, first, of the essential character of Jehovah, and then of the conditions in human beings on which the manifestation of that character depends.
