A frequent misinterpretation of this verse is to take it as a promise that God immediately prevents all injustice, ignoring the surrounding context of permitted suffering as discipline for Judah's sins and the reality that wrongs often persist temporarily under divine sovereignty. Another error is reading 'the Lord approveth not' as divine indifference or approval of evil, rather than strong disapproval that aligns with God's holiness and leads to eventual judgment on the perpetrators.
Lamentations 3:36
King James Version (1769)
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
Lamentations 3:36 asserts that God does not approve of subverting a person's just cause, emphasizing His righteous character amid Judah's lament over suffering and destruction. In the broader context of the chapter, which personifies Jerusalem's affliction while affirming God's faithfulness, this verse reassures the faithful that divine justice opposes human injustice, offering hope that the Lord sees and will ultimately vindicate the oppressed.
