Lamentations 3:39: And What it means to all People. By: Anthony Joseph Hopkins August 15, 2020 39. Why should a living Man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Allow me to expand on this Bible verse. Lamentations 3:39 has a whole lot to do with the sins that we commit against God. When it comes to a man, woman, and child that sins; Why shall we complain when we sin against God? Why should a living Man complain about the punishment of his sins. Frankly, a man should repent of his sins rather than complain about it. I mean his sins. Micah 7:9 says: I will bear the indignation of the Lord, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see His righteousness. The reason why I wrote this Bible verse is simply because it coincide with Lamentations 3:39.
