SCRIPTURE

"When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; But when the wicked rise, men hide themselves." — Proverbs 28:12 (ASV)

There is great glory - Men array themselves in festive apparel, and show their joy conspicuously.

A man is hidden - Better, men hide themselves, they shrink and cower for fear, and yet are hunted out.
