Job 17:15

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Does your respect for God give you confidence and your lifetime of integrity give you hope?

What strength do I have, that I should wait and hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?

Though he put me to death, yet I will hope in him. I will defend my ways before him.

He beats me down on every side until I am gone. He uproots my hope like a tree.

My heart turned to grief over all for which I had labored and all my wisdom under the sun.

I thought that in the prime of my life I would go down to the gates of the grave and be robbed of the rest of my life.

I said: My strength is cut off, and my hope from Jehovah.
