If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.

A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.

Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.

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

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.

The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.

As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.

Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.

Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.

Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
