Proverbs 10:28

Context

10:28 The hope 1  of the righteous is joy,

but the expectation of the wicked will remain unfulfilled. 2 

1 sn This proverb contrasts the hopes of the righteous and the wicked. The righteous will see their hopes fulfilled. The saying is concerned with God’s justice. The words תּוֹחֶלֶת (tokhelet, from יָחַל, yakhal) and תִּקְוַת (tiqvat, from קָוָה, qavah) are synonyms, both emphasizing eager expectations, longings, waiting in hope.

2 tn Heb “will perish”; NAB “comes to nought.”
