   In 1 Chronicles 29:15, the absolute form occurs in the clause that compares human days to a shadow and says there is no hope; in Ezra 10:2, the same form stands with the affirmation that there is hope for Israel despite unfaithfulness. The construct form identifies this expectation in relation to Israel in Jeremiah 14:8 and Jeremiah 17:13, and to the fathers and the LORD in Jeremiah 50:7; the APB renders these clauses with “Hope of Israel,” “the hope of Israel,” and “the hope of their fathers, the LORD.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses with “no hope,” “there is hope for Israel,” and construct expressions such as “Hope of Israel.” These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall presentation rather than isolate a precise English equivalent in every case.
