10 When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
10 When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices; when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
10 When it goes well for good people, the whole town cheers; when it goes badly for bad people, the town celebrates.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
10 The whole city celebrates when the godly succeed; they shout for joy when the wicked die.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they perish, the righteous increase.
28 When the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding; but when the wicked perish, the righteous thrive.
28 When the wicked rise, people hide themselves, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
28 When corruption takes over, good people go underground, but when the crooks are thrown out, it's safe to come out.
28 When the wicked arise, men hide themselves; But when they perish, the righteous increase.
28 When the wicked take charge, people go into hiding. When the wicked meet disaster, the godly flourish.
(Read Proverbs 28:28)
When power is put into the hands of the wicked, wise men decline public business. If the reader will go diligently over this and the other chapters, in many places where at first he may suppose there is least of Christ, still he will find what will lead to him.
