"But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; their hope will become a dying gasp."
NIV
But the eyes of the wicked shall look [for relief] in vain, and they shall not escape [the justice of God]; and their hope shall be to give up the ghost.
AMP
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
KJV
