9 The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
9 The lives of good people are brightly lit streets; the lives of the wicked are dark alleys.
9 The light of the righteous rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
9 The life of the godly is full of light and joy, but the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
20 If someone curses their father or mother, their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.
20 If one curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.
20 Anyone who curses father and mother extinguishes light and exists benighted. The Very Steps We Take
20 Whoever curses his father or his mother, His lamp will be put out in deep darkness.
20 If you insult your father or mother, your light will be snuffed out in total darkness.
(Read Proverbs 20:20)
An undutiful child will become very miserable. Never let him expect any peace or comfort.

Commentary on Proverbs 13:9
(Read Proverbs 13:9)
The light of the righteous is as that of the sun, which may be eclipsed and clouded, but will continue: the Spirit is their Light, he gives a fulness of joy: that of the wicked is as a lamp of their own kindling, easily put out.
