Proverbs 11:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

When it goeth well with the righteous When righteous men are encouraged and advanced to places of trust and power; the city rejoiceth The citizens, or subjects, of that government, rejoice, because they confidently expect justice and tranquillity, and many other benefits, by their administration of public affairs. When the wicked perish, there is shouting A common rejoicing, partly for the just vengeance of God upon them, who had been the instruments of so much mischief; and partly for the deliverance of the people from such public grievances and burdens as had been imposed upon them.
