Verse 7. When a wicked man dieth his expectation perisheth, and the hope of his power shall perish.
The meaning is, that every sinful mans affection of hoping, and happiness hoped for, and strongest means to attain to his hope, shall end with his life, and die at his death, and vanish away at the time of his destruction. The substance of the point hath been handled in the eight and twentieth verse of the former chapter, and therefore in this place we will only note the circumstance of the time.
