When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth: and when the wicked perish, there is shouting.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 11 of Proverbs. These proverbs explore the communal impact of words and individual conduct. The wicked can destroy a neighbor through his mouth, while the knowledge of the righteous brings deliverance. A city rejoices when the upright prosper and mourns when evil dominates. The passage also insists on the moral certainty that those who sow wickedness cannot regard their conduct as irrelevant before God.

Eine Stadt freut sich, wenn's den Gerechten wohl geht; und wenn die Gottlosen umkommen, wird man froh.
En el bien de los justos la ciudad se alegra: Mas cuando los impíos perecen, hay fiestas.
Cuando les va bien a los justos, la ciudad se alegra; cuando perecen los malvados, hay gritos de júbilo.
Quand les justes sont heureux, la ville est dans la joie; Et quand les méchants périssent, on pousse des cris d'allégresse.
La città festeggia del bene de’ giusti; Ma vi è giubilo quando gli empi periscono.
No bem dos justos exulta a cidade; e perecendo os ímpios, há júbilo.
義人享福,全城喜樂; 惡人滅亡,人人歡呼。
