Who could foretell the outcome?

Who could foretell the outcome?

Who can see the end? Figuratively: who knows how things will unfold in the future (the word yeshurena means “will see it”).

("And where then is my hope? And my hope, who shall see it?" – Job 17:15; also: “Ah! how many youthful blossoms lie buried there! / And how many yet to come — who knows, who can foresee?” – H.N. Bialik, Orphan Poem; and: “If we do not impose our authority upon the public, society will continue sinking into decadence of ‘eat and drink’—and who can tell where such a path may lead?” – H. Beer, Feathers, p.180)

Definition (Hebrew)

מִי יוּכַל לִרְאוֹת אֶת סוֹפוֹ? בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: מִי יוֹדֵעַ כֵּיצַד יִתְגַּלְגְּלוּ הַדְּבָרִים בֶּעָתִיד ( יְשׁוּרֶנָּה מַשְׁמָע יִרְאֶה אוֹתָהּ).

("וְאַיֵּה אֵפוֹ תִקְוָתִי וְתִקְוָתִי מִי יְשׁוּרֶנָּה" - אִיּוֹב יז טוּ, וְכֵן: "אֲהָהּ! כַּמָּה פִּרְחֵי עֲדָנִים כְּבָר נִקְבְּרוּ שֶׁמָּה!/ וְכַמָּה עֲתִידִים - מִי יֶדַע וּמִי יְשׁוּרֶנּוּ?" - ח.נ. בְּיָאלִיק / שִׁירָה יְתוֹמָה, וְכֵן: "שֶׁאִם לֹא נָטִיל אֶת מָרוּתֵנוּ עַל הַצִּבּוּר, תַּמְשִׁיךְ הַחֶבְרָה לִשְׁקֹעַ בדקדנס שֶׁל אֱכֹל וּשְׁתוּ - וְדֶרֶךְ זוֹ אַחֲרִיתָהּ מִי יְשׁוּרֶנּוּ" - ח. בְּאֵר / נוֹצוֹת, 180)
