But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

28 The hope of the righteous is joy; but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.

28 The hope of the righteous ends in gladness,

but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.

28 The hope of the righteous is gladness,

but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.

But the hopes of sinners are bound to fail.

But the expectation of the wicked perishes.
