When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes;
    what he hopes for from evil comes to nothing.
The righteous is delivered from trouble,
    and the wicked comes to take his place.
With his mouth the hypocrite can ruin his neighbor,
    but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.

惡人一死,他的希望就破滅,
    他對財勢的冀望轉眼成空。
義人脫離患難,
    惡人落入苦難。
不敬虔的張口敗壞鄰舍,
    義人卻因知識獲得拯救。

And the hope of the unjust perishes.
(B)The righteous is delivered from trouble,
And it comes to the wicked instead.
The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.

An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
