Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 20 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.
