8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
8 The righteous person is rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.
8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, and the wicked walks into it instead.
8 A good person is saved from much trouble; a bad person runs straight into it.
8 The righteous is delivered from trouble, And it comes to the wicked instead.
8 The godly are rescued from trouble, and it falls on the wicked instead.
