When a wicked man dieth, {\i his} expectation shall perish;\par\tab And the hope of iniquity perisheth.
The hope of the righteous {\i shall be} gladness;\par\tab But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,\par\tab And they shall have no way to flee;\par\tab And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.\par
The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing;\par\tab But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth;\par\tab In that very day his thoughts perish.
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou art man, and not God, in the hand of him that woundeth thee.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved;\par\tab He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away:\par\tab The desire of the wicked shall perish.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble,\par\tab And the wicked cometh in his stead.
The way of Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright;\par\tab But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
