Proverbs 11:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

His expectation shall perish; all his hope and felicity, which he placed wholly in earthly things, is lost and gone with him. The hope of unjust men; so it is a repetition of the same thing in other words. Or, as divers render it, the hope of their strengths, i.e. which they place in their carnal strengths, their riches, children, friends, &c. So this is added by way of aggravation.
