15 When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous

but terror to evildoers.

16 Whoever strays from the path of prudence

comes to rest in the company of the dead.

15 It is joy to the just to do judgment:

But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding

Shall remain in the congregation of the dead.

15 Justice is a joy to the godly,

but it terrifies evildoers.

16 The person who strays from common sense

will end up in the company of the dead.

15 It is a joy for the just to do justice,

But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.

16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding

Will rest in the assembly of the dead.

15 When justice is done, good people are happy,

but evil people are ruined.

16 Whoever does not use good sense

will end up among the dead.

15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice;

But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding

Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.

15 It is joy to a righteous man to do what is right; but it is ruin for the workers of iniquity.

16 The man that wandereth out of the way of wisdom shall abide in the congregation of the dead.

15 When justice is done, a righteous person is delighted, 

but troublemakers are terrified. 

16 A person who wanders from the way of wise behavior 

will rest in the assembly of the dead. 

15 Justice executed is a joy to the righteous

but a terror to those who practice iniquity.

16 The man who strays from the way of wisdom

will come to rest

in the assembly of the departed spirits.

15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous,

but dismay to evildoers.

16 Whoever wanders from the way of understanding

will rest in the assembly of the dead.

15 It is a joy to the righteous to do justice,

but dismay to those who do evil.

16 Whoever wanders from the way of understanding,

in the assembly of the dead he will rest.

15 When you do what is fair, you make godly people glad.

But you terrify those who do what is evil.

16 A man who leaves the path of understanding

ends up with those who are dead.

15 The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous,

But is terror to the workers of iniquity.

16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding

Will rest in the assembly of the dead.
