Lamentations 3:31-33. The Lord will not cast off for ever The truly penitent that put their trust in him, and sincerely desire and seek reconciliation with him: though he may for a time appear to estrange himself from them, yet he will certainly return to them.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:1-66
Grief, repentance and hope (3:1-66)This poem is different in style from the previous two. The poet speaks as if he is the representative of all Judah, describing Judah’s sufferings as if they were his own. And those sufferings are God’s righteous judgment (3:1-3). He is like a starving man ready to die. Indeed, he feels as if he already dwells in the world of the dead (4-6). He is like a man chained and locked inside a stone prison from which there is no way out (7-9).To the writer God seems... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Lamentations 3:31-33
God's good purposes in causing pain. All this is the language of hope and continues naturally what is said in Lamentations 3:21 and Lamentations 3:24 . The existence of present trouble presses upon the heart, but along with it there is the confident assurance of future deliverance.
