The hope of the righteous {shall be} gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

So {are} the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the ghost. {they shall...: Heb. flight shall perish from them} {the giving...: or, a puff of breath}

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. {destroy: or, repossess}

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, {and} be merry.

His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I {am} God? but thou {shalt be} a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. {of him that slayeth: or, of him that woundeth}

The wicked shall see {it}, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

The hope of the righteous {shall be} gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

The desire of the righteous {is} only good: {but} the expectation of the wicked {is} wrath.

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
