Exegesis
This is equated to simchah {שִׂמְחָה | śim-ḥāh} ‘joy’ in a parallel antithetical structure introduced by ve-tikvat {וְתִקְוַת | wə-ṯiq-vāṯ} ‘and the hope of’, linking to resha’im {רְשָׁעִים | re-šā-ʿîm} ‘the wicked’.
In context — Proverbs 10:28
The expectation of the righteous is joy , but the hope of the wicked will perish.
