The Pulpit Commentary on Proverbs 28:28

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves (see Proverbs 28:12); Septuagint, "In the places of the ungodly the righteous groan." But when they perish, the righteous increase (Proverbs 11:10; Proverbs 29:2, Proverbs 29:16). The overthrow of the ungodly adds to the prosperity of the righteous, removes an opposing element, and promotes their advancement in influence and numbers.
