When the wicked dies, his hope will perish,

and the expectation of wealth perishes too.

The righteous is delivered from trouble,

and the wicked walks into it instead.

Hopes placed in mortals die with them;

all the promise of their power comes to nothing.

The righteous person is rescued from trouble,

and it falls on the wicked instead.

When the wicked die, their hopes die with them,

for they rely on their own feeble strength.

The godly are rescued from trouble,

and it falls on the wicked instead.

and the expectation of the godless perishes.

The righteous is delivered from trouble,

but the wicked enters into it.

And the hope of unjust men perisheth.
