Proverbs 6:33
Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.
BSB
ASV
Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.
KJV
A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
A wound and dishonor shall he get - Among the Romans, when a man was caught in the fact, the injured husband took the law into his own hand; and a large radish was thrust up into the anus of the transgressor, which not only overwhelmed him with infamy and disgrace, but generally caused his death.
It will be a wound to his good name, a dishonour to his family, and, though the guilt of it may be done away by repentance, the reproach of it never will, but will stick to his memory when he is gone. David's sin in the matter of Uriah was not only a perpetual blemish upon his own character, but gave occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme his name too.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
