⁹ Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

¹⁶ He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

³⁴ For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

⁵ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

⁸ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

³⁰ That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

² For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

¹⁰ The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

²⁸ The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
