Vers. 3. When the wicked cometh, then cometh contempt, and with the vile man, reproach.
Vers. 3. When the wicked commeth, then commeth contempt, and with the vile man, reproach.
When the wicked cometh,] when any man becometh wicked, & waxeth sinful, then cometh contempt, dishonour and infamy follow fast after him, his credit is growing into a consumption, how great and many means soever he hath to uphold it: and with the vile man reproach, he that is vicious, and by ill doing deserveth shame, shall be sure to have shame and reproach his companions: if men dare not speak contemptuously to him, yet they will talk contemptibly of him, or though they should be afraid to censure him in their words, yet they will be bold to despise him in their minds.
