The human desire for spiritual rest

Lamentations 5:19–22 DIEBYBEL:A19331953
19 Ú, Here, sit vir ewig, u troon is van geslag tot geslag. 20 Waarom sou U ons vir altyd vergeet, ons verlaat tot in lengte van dae? 21 Bekeer ons tot U, Here, dan sal ons ons bekeer; vernuwe ons dae soos in die voortyd. 22 Of het U ons heeltemal verwerp, is u toorn teen ons alte groot?
