"When the lawless cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach." (Proverbs 18:3)
"When the lawless cometh, there cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach." (Proverbs 18:3)
The casting off of restraint and acting in self-will results in shame and reproach. He who would have the confidence of his brethren, and be esteemed by his friends, must manifest a spirit of subjection, on his own part, that bespeaks a sober-minded, thoughtful man, and one who values integrity. The opposite spirit results in ignominy (disgrace, dishonour) at last, however high the head may be carried for a time. (H.A. Ironside - Notes on Proverbs)
