So the poor have hope The word "poor" in Hebrew is "עָנִי" (ani), which often refers to those who are afflicted, humble, or in a state of need. In the context of the Book of Job, the "poor" can be seen as those who are suffering or oppressed, much like Job himself. The phrase "have hope" is significant, as it suggests a future expectation of relief or deliverance. Biblically, hope is not merely wishful thinking but a confident expectation based on the character and promises of God. This hope is rooted in the belief that God is just and will ultimately vindicate the righteous and humble. Historically, the plight of the poor has been a central concern in the biblical narrative, with God often portrayed as their defender and provider.
