Proverbs 11:7

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

When the wicked die, all their hopes are lost; everything they thought they could do comes to nothing.

See the chapter Copy

What good people hope for brings happiness, but what the wicked hope for brings destruction.

Evil people might look for help, but they will not escape their troubles. Their hope leads only to death.”

The wicked will be defeated by their evil, but good people are protected by their honesty.

People die and are buried. Then all their plans to help are gone.

That person will kill you. Will you still say, “I am a god”? No, he will have you in his power! You will see that you are a man, not God!

The wicked become angry when they see this. They grind their teeth in anger, but then they disappear. They will never get what they want most.

Good people escape from trouble, but the wicked come along and are trapped by it.

The Lord protects those who do right, but he destroys those who do wrong.
