Proverbs 23:18

For surely there is a future, ¹  and your hope will not be cut off. ² 

There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

Surely there is a future, And your hope will not be cut off.

For surely you have a future ahead of you; your hope will not be disappointed.

[That's] where your future lies. [Then] you won't be left with an armload of nothing.

For without doubt there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.

For surely there is a future, ¹  and your hope will not be cut off. ² 

¹ tn Heb “end” (so KJV); ASV “a reward.”

² sn The saying is an understatement; far from being cut off, the “hope” will be realized in the end. So this saying, the thirteenth, advises people to be zealous for the fear of the Lord, their religion, rather than for anything that sinners have to offer.
