The writer speaks of the one who waits for Yahweh ([Lamentations 3:25](../03/25.md)).

(Occurrence 0) Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes him
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,smiter_of,him cheek filled in/on/at/with,disgrace )
The word “him” refers to anyone who is suffering and who waits for Yahweh. Here “offer his cheek” represents allowing someone to strike his cheek. Alternate translation: “Let him allow people to hit him on the face”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) let him be filled to the full with reproach
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,smiter_of,him cheek filled in/on/at/with,disgrace )
The author speaks of a person as if he were a container and reproach were a liquid. Being filled with reproach represents being reproached much. The implication is that he should be patient when this happens. Alternate translation: “let him be insulted much” or “let him be patient when people reproach him”
3:1-66 In this chapter, the author laments what has happened (3:1-20, 48-54), remembers the faithful love of the Lord (3:21-25), describes how God’s people should respond (3:26-47), and calls upon the Lord in prayer (3:55-66).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
