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

Verse 3 is found in chapter 18 of Proverbs. The chapter begins with a warning against the selfish isolation of one who seeks only to satisfy his own desire and rejects wisdom. The fool does not desire understanding, but rather to express his own opinion. The words of a gossip are compared to morsels that penetrate deeply. The teaching therefore identifies a common root between isolation, stubborn opinion, and irresponsible dissemination of information.

Wo der Gottlose hin kommt, da kommt Verachtung und Schmach mit Hohn.
Cuando viene el impío, viene también el menosprecio, Y con el deshonrador la afrenta.
Cuando llega el malvado, llega también el desprecio, y con la deshonra viene la afrenta.
Quand vient le méchant, vient aussi le mépris; Et avec la honte, vient l'opprobre.
Quando viene un empio, viene anche lo sprezzo, E il vituperio con ignominia
Vindo o ímpio, vem também o desprezo, e com a ignomínia a vergonha.
邪惡來,藐視跟著來; 羞恥到,辱罵同時到。
