Lamentations 3:18

And I say: My strength is lost
and I have lost all my hope (my expectation) in the Lord (Yahweh).
[The sixth Hebrew letter is: ו – Vav. The character depicts a tent peg, a hook, or a hanger. In practical terms, it was the tent peg that held up the tent fabric. It binds different things together. Similarly, the letter is used in grammar to bind words together into sentences. In these verses, the words "He has destroyed," "is cut off," and "And I say" begin with this letter.
This expresses how the ability to expect anything from God is gone. It is often part of the processing phase to feel despair and, for a time, to lack the ability to have any expectations.]
