PROVERBS 11:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.”
Joy in righteousness: When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there is shouting. The righteous person's success benefits the entire community (yigil qir). The wicked's destruction is cause for communal joy (rinah). This indicates that righteousness or wickedness has public consequences. A righteous person building up the city brings general prosperity; a wicked person's downfall brings relief.
