Proverbs11:7
7. When a wicked man dieth his expectation shall perish : and the hope of unjust men perisheth.
All his hope and felicity, which he placed wholly in earthly things, is lost and gone with him.
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.
