Bible in Basic English

If he is taken away from his place, then it will say, I have not seen you.

Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.

The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.
