5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy cometh in the morning.
