When the upright have power, the people are glad; when an evil man is ruler, grief comes on the people.

When evil men are in power, wrongdoing is increased; but the upright will have pleasure when they see their downfall.

An evil man is disgusting to the upright, and he who is upright is disgusting to evil-doers.
