The light of the righteous rejoices, but the lamp of the wicked will be put out.
#proverbs 13:9 ESV

"Rejoices" is a poetic way to say that it shines brightly, like the dancing flame of a candle.

Or (light) vs nir (lamp). This seems to imply that the wicked never really shined very brightly to begin with. For the light of the righteous, see #revelation 21:23. For the lamp of the wicked, see Revelation 2:6.
