Lamentations 3:39

Israel's Affliction

³⁸
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That both adversity (misfortune) and good (prosperity, happiness) proceed? ³⁹ 
Why should any living mortal, or any man,
Complain [of punishment] in view of his sins?
⁴⁰
Let us test and examine our ways,
And let us return to the Lord.
