Proverbs 11:7

Modern King James Version

When a wicked man dies, his hope shall perish; and the hope of evil ones shall be lost.

See the chapter Copy

The hope of the righteous is gladness; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no escape, and their hope shall be like the giving up of the spirit.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness, but the righteous has hope in his death.

His breath goes forth; he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Will you yet say before him who kills you, I am of the gods? But you are a man, and not God, in the hand of him who kills you.

The wicked shall see and be vexed; he shall gnash with his teeth and melt away; the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked comes in his place.

The way of Jehovah is strength to the upright; but ruin is to the workers of iniquity.
