Job 17:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

"Your fear of God has been your confidence, hasn't it? The integrity of your life has been your hope, hasn't it?

"Do I have the strength to wait? And why should I be patient?

Even though he kills me, I'll continue to hope in him. At least I'll be able to argue my case to his face!

He is breaking me down on every side, and now it's too late for me; he has uprooted my hopes like a tree.

So I came to be in despair about everything I had accomplished on earth.

I said, "Must I leave in the prime of my life? Must I be consigned to the control of Sheol? Bitter are my years!"

So I say, "My strength is gone as is my hope in the LORD."
