When a wicked man dies, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perishes.
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as one dying.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
His breath goes forth, he returns to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his stead.
The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous has hope in his death.
Will you yet say before him that slays you, I am a god? but you shall be a man, and no god, in the hand of him that slays you.
