When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 11 of Proverbs. False scales represent economic corruption and receive explicit condemnation, showing that wisdom spirituality includes commercial justice. Humility, integrity, and righteousness protect a person when the consequences of decisions arrive. Wealth may appear to provide security, but it cannot deliver from judgment; righteousness, by contrast, appears as a way of life that guides a person even in the face of death.

Wenn der gottlose Mensch stirbt, ist seine Hoffnung verloren und das Harren des Ungerechten wird zunichte.
Cuando muere el hombre impío, perece su esperanza; Y la espectativa de los malos perecerá.
A la mort du méchant, son espoir périt, Et l'attente des hommes iniques est anéantie.
Quando l’uomo empio muore, la sua aspettazione perisce; E la speranza ch’egli aveva concepita delle sue forze è perduta
Morrendo o homem perverso perece sua esperança, e acaba-se a expectação de riquezas.
惡人一死,他的指望就滅絕; 罪人的盼望也必滅絕。
