8 Bible Verses about Hope, Of The Wicked

If I placed my confidence in gold
or called fine gold my trust,

Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed. And the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Look, this is what has happened to those we relied on and fled to for help to rescue us from the king of Assyria! Now, how will we escape?’”

Ashkelon will see it and be afraid;
Gaza too, and will writhe in great pain,
as will Ekron, for her hope will fail.
There will cease to be a king in Gaza,
and Ashkelon will become uninhabited.

Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
the hope of the godless will perish.

But the sight of the wicked will fail.
Their way of escape will be cut off,
and their only hope is their last breath.

The hope of the righteous is joy,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.

For what hope does the godless man have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?

At that time you were without the Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
