This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_11:10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, [there is] shouting.
Ver. 10. When it goeth well with the righteous.] When they are set in place of authority, all the country fare the better for it. All cannot choose but do well, so long as thou rulest well, {a} said the senate to Severus the emperor. And Ita nati estis, said he in Tacitus, ut bona malaque vestra ad rempublicam pertineant. Public persons are either a great mercy or a great misery to the whole country.
And when the wicked perish, there is shouting. For by their fall the people rise, and their ruin is the repair of the city.
" Cum mors crudelem rapuisset saeva Neronem,
Credibile est multos Romam agitasse iocos."
{a} ðáíôåò ðáíôá êáëùò ðïéïõóéí åðåéäáí áõ êáëùò áñ÷åéò . - Dion.
