Job 8:21

JoyHope

19 Surely this is the joy of his way; yet others will spring from the dust.

20 Behold, God does not reject the blameless, nor will He strengthen the hand of evildoers.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.

22 Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tent of the wicked will be no more.”
