Hope for good. Proverbs 11:7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

To begin with brothers and sisters, I almost wanted to get Chanel to type out the 7 different bible translations so we could compare the scriptures from one translation to another and that way you’ll see the difference ways a person could learn the bible.

Let’s compare 7 different bibles

1. The KJV says 7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: and the hope of unjust men perisheth.

2. The NCV says 7  When the wicked die, hope dies with them;their hope in riches will come to nothing.

3. The NLT says 7 When the wicked die, their hopes die with them, for they rely on their own feeble strength. The NIV says 7 When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing.

4. The NRSV says 7. When the wicked die, their hope perishes, and the expectation of the godless comes to nothing.

5. The CSB says 7 When the wicked person dies, his expectation comes to nothing, and hope placed in wealth, vanishes.

6. The GWB says 7 At the death of a wicked person, hope vanishes. Moreover, his confidence in strength vanishes. 

7. The NIV says 7. When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing.

Alright it seems to me that each translation teaches talks and tells us that it does not matter which you slice the cake When Wicked people die they take their wickedness with them.

It’s true and the revelation is this you either hoping in Virtue or you’re hoping in vices.

We are talking about Virtues or Vices.

We are talking about Righteousness or Wickedness.

We are talking about good or bad.

We are talking about right or wrong.

We are talking about being Holy or being Hellish.

The bible says in Proverbs 11:1 A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight. That means that Dishonest scales are detestable to the LORD, but an accurate weight is his delight. God wants us to be honest when we do business.Honest business practices are a virtue dishonest business practices are a vice

Proverbs 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. The NCV explains it like this Pride leads only to shame; it is wise to be humble. It’s good to be humble before God and man.Humility is a virtue pride is a vice.

The Everyday Bible: New Century Version (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson, Inc., 2005), Pr 11:2.
