Job 17:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

“Is not your fear of God your confidence,
And [is not] the integrity and uprightness of your ways your hope?

“What strength do I have left, that I should wait [and hope]?
And what is ahead of me, that I should be patient and endure?

“Even though He kills me;
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless, I will argue my ways to His face.

“He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

So I turned aside and let my heart despair over all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun.

I said, “In mid-life
I am to go through the gates of Sheol (the place of the dead),
I am to be summoned, deprived of the remainder of my years.”

So I say, “My strength has perished
And so has my hope and expectation from the Lord.”
