“Is it gloating when justice is done?”

“What does it mean if someone is gloating?

“to observe or think about something with triumphant and often malicious satisfaction, gratification, or delight.”

“The Bible specifically warns: “Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice.” (Proverbs 24: 17)”

KJV “rejoice not”

“Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart.”

And... pride comes before a fall

“He that diggith a pit falleth therin”
I reckon God would have rather have Us Praise Him for the victory than be prideful and gloating over God’s victory.”

Draw your own conclusions.

Perhaps, but cart before horse: it's racist if justice is done, don't 'cha know.
