Proverbs 11:7

Tree of Life Version

When the wicked dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of the strong vanishes.

See the chapter Copy

The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked perishes.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their only hope is their dying breath.”

The wicked is brought down in his calamity yet the righteous has a refuge even in death.

His breath departs, he returns to his dust. In that very day his plans perish.

Will you still say, ‘I am a god’ before the one who slays you? Yet you are man, and not a god, in the hand of those who pierce you.

The wicked will see it and be indignant. He will gnash with his teeth and waste away. The desire of the wicked will perish.

The righteous is rescued from trouble. Instead it comes on the wicked.

The way of Adonai is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a ruin to those who do evil.
