Lamentations 3:39

_ _ for the punishment of his sins — Instead of blaming God for his sufferings, he ought to recognize in them God’s righteousness and the just rewards of his own sin. |
Lamentations 3:39
Wherefore — The Jews, check themselves in their complaints from the consideration, that nothing had befallen them, but what was the just reward of their sins. |
