SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:9

¶ La luz de los justos se alegrará; mas se apagará la candela de los impíos.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 13:9

Verse 9. The light of the
righteous rejoiceth ] They shall have that measure of prosperity which shall be best for them; but the wicked, howsoever prosperous for a time, shall be brought into desolation. Light and lamp in both cases may signify posterity. The righteous shall have a joyous posterity; but that of the wicked shall be cut off. So 1 Kings xi. xx16: "And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light ( rn ner, a lamp) always before me." 1 Kingsxv. i5: "Nevertheless for David's sake did the Lord give them a lamp, to set up his son after him." See also Psa. cxxxii. 17, and several other places.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 9. The light of the
righteous rejoiceth , etc.] The light of joy and gladness, which is sown for them, and arises to them; the light of spiritual knowledge and experience they have; the light of sound doctrine; the light of good works, and a Gospel conversation; all this, as it is delightful to themselves and others, so it is increasing more and more to the perfect day, and it continues: so the Septuagint and Arabic versions, “light [is] always for the righteous”; especially it will be in the latter day, and particularly in the New Jerusalem state, when there will be no night, ( Revelation 21:23-25); but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out ; the light of the righteous is like that of the sun, bright and pleasant; but the light of the wicked is like that of a lamp, lesser and not so agreeable, nor will it last; their prosperity is short lived, their joy is but for a moment; the pleasures of sin are but for a season; their candle soon goes out; it is put out in obscure darkness, and they themselves are reserved to blackness of darkness, ( Job 18:5,6 20:5 Proverbs 20:20); as prosperous and flourishing as the kingdom of antichrist has been or is, it will be full of darkness, ( Revelation 16:12).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9 - The light of the
righteous is as that of the sun, which may be eclipse and clouded, but will continue: the Spirit is their Light, he gives fulness of joy: that of the wicked is as a lamp of their own kindling easily put out.
