Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 13:9

9. The light of the righteous rejoiceth , but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out .

The Prosperity or Happiness, which is oft called a Light or Lamp in Scripture, and other Authors.

Shineth with a pleasant and constant Brightness and Glory; for this is opposed to the putting out in the next clause. Rejoicing is here ascribed to the light, as it is to the Sun, Psal. 19. 5. both Metaphorically, because they would rejoice in it, if they were capable of any such passions, and Metonymically, because they refresh and chear mens Spirits. So Mountains and Trees are said to rejoice, Psal. 65. 12. & 96. 12.

Their felicity shall have a sudden and a dismal end.
