On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again. (2 Corinthians 1:8–10)

Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes grow without water? While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it dries up before any other plant. So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish, Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider’s web. (Job 8)
