"to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve."
— Lamentations 3:36 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
For he does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
to turn away the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord doesn’t approve.
Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?
Doesn’t evil and good come out of the mouth of the Most High?
Why does a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
