Proverbs 18:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

When the wicked cometh, then cometh (also) contempt. When the wicked cometh among wise men, he cometh not to learn but to throw contempt on all persons and all things, especially on the godly.

And with ignominy reproach. The wicked cherishes contempt in his mind; throws ignominy on others, in gesture and act; and casts reproach with words. All three, by just retribution in kind, recoil on himself.
