The righteousis deliveredfrom trouble,But the wickedtakeshis place.
But the salvationof the righteousis from the LORD;He is their strengthin timeof trouble.
When a wickedmandies,[his] expectationwill perish,And the hopeof strongmenperishes.
With [his] mouththe godlessmandestroyshis neighbor,But through knowledgethe righteouswill be delivered.
An evilmanis ensnaredby the transgressionof his lips,But the righteouswill escapefrom trouble.
The wickedis a ransomfor the righteous,And the treacherousis in the placeof the upright.
