    when it is laid on him;
29 (B)let him put his mouth in the dust—

30 (C)let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,
    and let him be filled with insults.

31 (D)For the Lord will not
    cast off forever,
32 but, though he (E)cause grief, (F)he will have compassion
    (G)according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33 (H)for he does not afflict from his heart
    or (I)grieve the children of men.
