28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding;

but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.

28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves,

but when they perish, the righteous increase.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves:

But when they perish, the righteous increase.

28 When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding.

When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.

28 When the wicked get control, everybody hides,

but when they die, good people do well.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;

But when they perish, the righteous increase.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous increase.

28 When wicked people rise, people hide. 

When they die, righteous people increase. 

28 When the wicked come to power,

people hide,

but when they are destroyed,

the righteous flourish.

28 When the wicked prevail, people go into hiding;

but when they perish, the righteous increase.

28 With the rising of the wicked, humankind will be hidden,

and with their perishing, the righteous will multiply.

28 When those who are evil take charge, other people hide.

But when those who are evil die, godly people grow stronger.

28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves;

But when they perish, the righteous increase.
