Hopeless but not Hopeless


In full:
For thus says the Lord:
Your hurt is incurable,
 and your wound is grievous.
There is none to uphold your cause,
 no medicine for your wound,
 no healing for you.
All your lovers have forgotten you;
 they care nothing for you;
for I have dealt you the blow of an enemy,
 the punishment of a merciless foe,
because your guilt is great,
 because your sins are flagrant.
Why do you cry out over your hurt?
 Your pain is incurable.
Because your guilt is great,
 because your sins are flagrant,
 I have done these things to you.
Therefore all who devour you shall be devoured,
 and all your foes, every one of them,
shall go into captivity;
those who plunder you shall be plundered,
 and all who prey on you I will make a prey.
For I will restore health to you,
 and your wounds I will heal,
declares the Lord
—Jeremiah 30: 12—17

Dependable Worker


"Where there is belief in the living God, who acts and intervenes in human life and who can be trusted to implement his promises, hope in the specifically biblical sense becomes possible."
—New Bible Dictionary, IVP, 3rd Edition

Hope in his Unfailing Love


{Delight, according to the dictionary, is a surprisingly strong word; it's defined as a high degree of pleasure or enjoyment; joy; rapture. Apparently God is pretty excited here.}

Suffering —> Hope





Just guessing here...I don't really understand this bit. But I think the verses are important ones on the subject of hope, so I at least wanted to think about them.

He Will?


The definition in the previous post I came to by comparing what several dictionaries had to say on the topic. Here I attempted to see how the Bible responded to that definition. I think I got a pretty clear cut response in this verse.
