Proverbs 11:23 ” The desire of the righteous ends only in good, but the hope of the wicked only in wrath.”

Plainly we can see the contrast of the righteous and the wicked in their destinies here. This is repeated in Job 8:13 which tells us, “Such are the paths of all who forget God; the hope of the godless shall perish.” But for the righteous there is hope… or as I Thessalonians 5:9 says, “God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” When our desire is for the Lord, we will experience happiness & wisdom as we seek for the ultimate plan & purpose in life. But if we rebel against God, the expectation for us is only anger, frustration, rage, and defiance.
