Proverbs 11:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

When it goeth well with the righteous, when such men are encouraged and advanced into places of power and trust, 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. There is shouting; a common rejoicing, partly for the just vengeance of God upon them who have been the instruments of so much mischief; and partly for their deliverance from such public grievances and burdens of the land.

Proverbs 11:10

10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
