'Hope' in the Bible
Those who made Cush their hope and Egypt their boast will be dismayed and ashamed.
My heart staggers;horror terrifies me.He has turned my last glimmer of hopeinto sheer terror.
For Sheol cannot thank You;Death cannot praise You.Those who go down to the Pitcannot hope for Your faithfulness.
Kings will be your foster fathers,and their queens your nursing mothers.They will bow down to youwith their faces to the ground,and lick the dust at your feet.Then you will know that I am Yahweh;those who put their hope in Mewill not be put to shame.
My righteousness is near,My salvation appears,and My arms will bring justice to the nations.The coastlands will put their hope in Me,and they will look to My strength.
Therefore justice is far from us,and righteousness does not reach us.We hope for light, but there is darkness;for brightness, but we live in the night.
We all growl like bearsand moan like doves.We hope for justice, but there is none;for salvation, but it is far from us.
