Lamentations 3:33
33For he does not willingly bring afflictionor grief to the children of men.
33For he does not willingly bring afflictionor grief to the children of men.
Lamentations is full of the effects of the wrath of God. God's chosen people had sinned time and time again, and now God had to chastise those He had chosen. As great as the wrath of God was, the writer had to bring out one point, "He does not like to punish people or make them sad (New Century Version)." Although the pain was necessary, He did not grin when He spanked. Spare the rod, spoil the child, but He did not enjoy it. The pain was out of love, not out of laughter. He chastises those He loves.
