Proverbs18:3
3 When the wicked cometh , then cometh also contempt , and with ignominy reproach .
Into any place or company.
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 he doth not only contemn others in his heart, but sheweth his contempt of them by ignominious and reproachful expressions and carriages.
