hope
All who found them have devoured them, and their enemies have said, `We are not guilty, for they have sinned against the LORD, their true habitation, the LORD, the hope of their fathers.'
The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
so I say, "Gone is my glory, and my expectation from the LORD."
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
Let him sit alone in silence when he has laid it on him;
let him put his mouth in the dust-- there may yet be hope;
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, `Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off.'
They have spoken falsehood and divined a lie; they say, `Says the LORD,' when the LORD has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfil their word.
