There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off—an assurance that the one who fears God has grounds for hope, that righteousness has a future while wickedness does not. The phrase 'future hope' (acharit tikvah) suggests an end in view; the righteous path leads somewhere good. The theological significance involves the principle that God's justice guarantees ultimate vindication for the righteous.
