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

Verse 28 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. The final section relates blessing, the fear of the Lord, work, righteousness, and destiny. Divine blessing is not presented as mere material accumulation, but as that which enriches without adding the sorrow associated with sinful gain. The contrast between righteous and wicked appears again: one finds stability in God’s way, while the other is ultimately exposed by his own perversity.

L'attente des justes n'est que joie, Mais l'espérance des méchants périra.
L’aspettar de’ giusti è letizia; Ma la speranza degli empi perirà
A esperança dos justos é alegria, mas a expectação dos perversos perecerá.
義人的盼望帶來喜樂; 惡人的指望必致滅沒。
