Lamentations 3:30 meaning and explanation
Let him offer his cheek to the one who would strike him; let him be filled with reproach.
Lamentations 3:30, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The speaker is the man of verse 1, giving voice to Jerusalem's grief after its destruction, and in verses 27 to 30 he counsels quiet submission to God's discipline. Offering the cheek means accepting a blow without retaliation, and being filled with reproach means bearing insult and disgrace without defending oneself.
