Job 17:15

Where now is my hope?
And who regards my hope?

“Is not your fear of God your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?

“What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should endure?

“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.

“Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

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

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

“Is not your

fear of God your confidence,

And the integrity of your ways your hope?

“What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should

endure?

“Though He slay me,
I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

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

Therefore I completely despaired of all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun.

I said, “In the middle of my life
I am to enter the gates of Sheol;
I am to be deprived of the rest of my years.”

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