hope
But the eyes of the wicked will fail,And they shall not escape,And their hope—loss of life!”
So are the paths of all who forget God;And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,
And you would be secure, because there is hope;Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.
Whose confidence shall be cut off,And whose trust is a spider’s web.
The caravans of Tema look,The travelers of Sheba hope for them.
“What strength do I have, that I should hope?And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
So the poor have hope,And injustice shuts her mouth.
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,And are spent without hope.
As water wears away stones,And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth;So You destroy the hope of man.
“For there is hope for a tree,If it is cut down, that it will sprout again,And that its tender shoots will not cease.
