Proverbs 18:3
With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.
BSB
ASV
When the wicked cometh, there cometh also contempt, And with ignominy cometh reproach.
KJV
When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.
So surely are sin and punishment connected (Pr 16:4). wicked, for "wickedness," answers to ignominy, or the state of such; and contempt, the feeling of others to them; and to reproach, a manifestation of contempt.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
