Proverbs 11:7

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

When a wicked man dieth, (his) expectation shall perish; and the hope of unjust (men) perisheth. Riches, glory, impunity in oppressing others, and carnal pleasure, are the wicked man's object of "hope." At death he is taken away from all these hopelessly, and forever. "The hope of unjust, (men)." [Thus, the Hebrew, 'owniym (H205), is from 'aawen (H205), iniquity.] But Gejer, Maurer, etc., take it [from hown or 'own, resources, wealth, powers, Genesis 49:3; Hosea 12:3 ], 'The hope of riches perisheth' (cf Proverbs 11:4): as in the former clause there is expressed whose hope perisheth, but not what hope, so (according to this view) in the latter clause is expressed what hope perisheth, not whose hope. Gesenius supports the English version. So the Septuagint, the Chaldaic, Syriac, Arabic (cf. Proverbs 10:28).
