And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.

Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.

For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in thee.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
