28 The (A)hope of the righteous is gladness,But the (B)expectation of the wicked perishes.
30 The (A)righteous will never be shaken,But (B)the wicked will not live in the land.
5 The (A)righteousness of the blameless will smooth his way,But (B)the wicked will fall by his own wickedness.
7 When a wicked person dies, his (A)expectation will perish,And the (B)hope of strong people perishes.
8 The righteous is rescued from trouble,But the wicked [a]takes his place.
10 When things (A)go well for the righteous, the city rejoices,And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,But by the mouth of the wicked, it is torn down.
18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages,But one who (A)sows righteousness gets a true reward.
21 [a]Be assured, the evil person will not go unpunished,But the [b]descendants of the righteous will be rescued.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good,But the (A)expectation of the wicked is wrath.
31 If (A)the righteous will be repaid on the earth,How much more the wicked and the sinner!
11 The (A)house of the wicked will be destroyed,But the tent of the upright will flourish.
