~Proverbs 11~
"When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down."
~Proverbs 11:10-11
"Two occasions when a city breaks out in joyful celebration: [first], when the righteous prosper and [secondly], when the wicked perish. The blessing of the upright may refer to their prayers for the city, or to the benefits which their presence and godly influence bring to the city; (Being salt and light).
The deceit, broken promises, fraud, and profanity of the wicked are enough to ruin any local government."
