Job questions what strength he has that he should hope and what is the end toward which he should extend his life, articulating his conviction that he has no grounds for continuing to hope or to live. The rhetorical questions express the conviction that hope itself has become irrational, that the conditions which would justify hope simply do not exist. The logical conclusion is that if hope is groundless, life itself is groundless.
