Job 17:15

Where then would be my hope? And, as for my blessedness, who should see it!

Is not, thy reverence, thy confidence? And is not, thy hope, the very integrity of thy ways?

What is my strength, that I should hope? Or what mine end, that I should prolong my desire?

He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away - like a tree - my hope;

Then resolved I, to give my heart over to despair, - concerning all the toil, wherein I had toiled, under the sun.

I, said - In the noontide of my days, I must enter the gates of hades, - I am deprived of the residue of ray years!

And I said, Vanished is mine endurance, even mine expectation, from Yahweh.
