tiq.vah denotes an anticipated prospect, whether it remains secure, is sought, or is described as lost.

The term regularly marks an anticipated prospect: it may be present and secure, as in promises of a future or return, or it may fail, perish, or be cut off. The same use can name a person's confidence or the outcome sought, including the prospect associated with a tree's renewed growth, a person's request, or the future of the righteous and wicked.

1. An anticipated prospect or confidence · dominant

   In Jeremiah 31:17, the absolute form occurs in the declaration that there is a prospect for the future and that the children will return to their border; in Job 14:7, it stands with the tree that can sprout again after being cut. Construct forms mark a person's or group's prospect in clauses where it is uprooted, perishes, or is not cut off: in Job 19:10 the APB renders that God “uproots my hope like a tree,” while Proverbs 23:18 renders that “your hope will not be cut off.”

   Jeremiah 31:17Job 14:7Job 19:10Proverbs 23:18Psalm 71:5Ezekiel 37:11

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB often uses “hope” in clauses about a future prospect, personal confidence, or something that perishes; it also renders Job 6:8 as “what I hope for.” These English expressions confirm the verses' overall presentations rather than establish separate lexical meanings.
