The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 14 of Job. Job imagines that God could call him again and that he would answer that call. The possibility of being remembered by God appears as hope against corruption and oblivion. Yet the speech ends by returning to present pain, showing that Job’s hope still coexists with an immediate experience of deterioration.
