hope
State in which humans experience a desire for something to happen, together with a degree of confidence that this desire will be fulfilled through the intervention of someone else
ExamplesIsaiah 20:5 “Then they will be terrified and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their pride.
Isaiah 20:6 “So the inhabitants of this coastland will say on that day, ‘Behold, such is our hope, where we fled for help to be saved from the king of Assyria; and how are we ourselves to escape?’”
Zechariah 9:5 Ashkelon will see it and be afraid. Gaza too will writhe in great pain; Also Ekron, because her hope has been ruined. Moreover, the king will perish from Gaza, And Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
