This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





When the wicked cometh into any place or company,



then cometh also contempt; either,



1. Passively; he is justly contemned and reproached by those who converse with him. Or rather,



2. Actively; he despiseth and scorneth all instruction and reproof, neither fearing God nor reverencing man; for he seems here to note his sin rather than his punishment.



And with ignominy reproach; and he doth not only contemn others in his heart, but showeth his contempt of them by ignominious and reproachful expressions and carriages.
