Proverbs 11:7

English Standard Version 2016

When the wicked dies, his hope will perish, and the expectation of wealth perishes too.

See the chapter Copy

The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail; all way of escape will be lost to them, and their hope is to breathe their last.”

The wicked is overthrown through his evildoing, but the righteous finds refuge in his death.

When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish.

Will you still say, ‘I am a god,’ in the presence of those who kill you, though you are but a man, and no god, in the hands of those who slay you?

The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!

The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.

The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless, but destruction to evildoers.
