- Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, you will find a future,
and your hope will not be cut off. - So that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints.
- It does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
- The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing. - For God alone my soul waits in silence,
for my hope is from him. - For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are open to their cry.
