and he addeth no sorrow with it. - The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. - The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. - The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable:
but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. - When pride cometh, then cometh shame:
but with the lowly is wisdom.
