“He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.”
"He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope he has pulled up like a tree." God attacks from all sides, progressively destroying Job. His hope—the last thing that might sustain him—is uprooted like a tree. The verse suggests that hope itself is an obstacle to be removed in the total annihilation of the self.
