Proverbs 11:10-11 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. 

‘When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices.’ The righteous are respected and honoured for their examples, prayers, and great blessings to a city that rejoices in their prosperity, but when the wicked perish who have been a curse to a community there is no regret.

‘Well with the righteous.’ Three examples of joy in the righteous: Hezekiah (2Chr. 29:3-36; 30:26); Nehemiah (Neh. 2:1-20; 6:15; 8:17); Mordecai (Est. 8:15-16).

‘When the wicked perish.’ Three examples of the wicked perishing: Pharaoh (Ex. 15:1-27); Sisera (Jdg. 5:1-31); Athaliah (2Kin. 11:20).

‘By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.’ A city rejoices in the blessing of the righteous because it is exalted and honoured by their good deeds, but the wicked helps destroy it.
