²⁸ The hope of the righteous `shall be' gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:

⁷ When a wicked man dieth, `his' expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth.

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

¹³ Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

¹² rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

²³ And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.

³² The wicked is thrust down in his evil-doing; But the righteous hath a refuge in his death.

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.

²⁴ Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵ Whom have I in heaven `but thee'? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.

²⁶ My flesh and my heart faileth; `But' God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.

⁹ Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
