Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:10

Righteousness is not private — it has communal effects. When good people prosper and lead, the whole community benefits and rejoices. The destruction of wickedness is also cause for relief and celebration by the oppressed.

Memory phrase: Righteousness blesses the city.

Talk about it: How does one good person make things better for everyone around them?

Prayer: God, make me a blessing to those around me.
