Thematic Bible: Dishonour
Thematic Bible
Dishonour » The wicked are brought to
He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,”
Peoples will curse him, nations will denounce him;
And you, O desolate one, what will you do?
Though you clothe yourself in scarlet,
Though you adorn yourself with ornaments of gold,
Though you enlarge your eyes with paint,
You make yourself beautiful in vain.
Your lovers (allies) despise you;
They seek your life.
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly and without self-control,
And a man of wicked schemes is hated.
There is no relief and healing for your hurt;
Your wound is incurable.
All who hear the news about you
Clap their hands over [what has happened to] you.
For on whom has your [unceasing] evil not come continually?
A man will be commended according to his insight and sound judgment,
But the one who is of a perverse mind will be despised.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake (resurrect), these to everlasting life, but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt (abhorrence).
Verse Concepts
“People will clap their hands at him [to mock and ridicule him]
And hiss him out of his place.
The righteous will see it and fear,
And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,
“Then they will go forth and look
Upon the dead bodies of the [rebellious] men
Who have transgressed against Me;
For their worm (maggot) will not die,
And their fire will not go out;
And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind.”
