The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
What does Proverbs 13:9 mean?
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.
