Lamentations 3:18
Compare all
16 He has also broken my teeth awith gravel,
And1 covered me with ashes. 
17 You have moved my soul far from peace;
I have forgotten1 prosperity. 
18 aAnd I said, “My strength and my hope
Have perished from the Lord.” 
19 Remember my affliction and roaming,
aThe wormwood and the1 gall. 
20 My soul still remembers
And1 sinks within me. 
21 This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have ahope. 
22 aThrough the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions bfail not. 
23 They are new aevery morning;
Great is Your faithfulness. 
24 “The Lord is my aportion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I bhope in Him!”

Lamentations 3:18

And my hope - That first, that last support of the miserable - it is gone! it is perished! The sovereign God alone can revive it.
