Hope and ruin: The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the hope of the wicked comes to nothing. The righteous person's hope (siqvat tzaddiqim) yields joy. The wicked person's hope (siqvat reshayim) comes to nothing. This indicates that the righteous person's confident expectation is well-founded; it produces joy. The wicked person's hopes, rooted in fantasies, inevitably fail. The source and object of one's hope determines whether it yields joy or disappointment.
