Lexicon :: Strong's H7036 - qālôn

‘If I am wicked, woe to me [for judgment comes]!

And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.

For I am sated and filled with disgrace and the sight of my misery.

Fill their faces with shame and disgrace,

That they may [persistently] seek Your name, O LORD.

The wise will inherit honor and glory,

But dishonor and shame is conferred on fools.

Wounds and disgrace he will find,

And his reproach (blame) will not be blotted out.

He who corrects and instructs a scoffer gets dishonor for himself,

And he who rebukes a wicked man gets insults for himself.

When pride comes [boiling up with an arrogant attitude of self-importance], then come dishonor and shame,

But with the humble [the teachable who have been chiseled by trial and who have learned to walk humbly with God] there is wisdom and soundness of mind.

The [arrogant] fool’s anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense],

But a prudent man ignores an insult.

Poverty and shame will come to him who refuses instruction and discipline,

But he who accepts and learns from reproof or censure is honored.

When the wicked man comes [to the depth of evil], contempt [of all that is pure and good] also comes,

And with inner baseness (dishonor) comes outer shame (scorn).

Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go away;

Even strife and dishonor will cease.

And roll you up tightly like a ball

And toss you into a vast country;

There you will die

And there your splendid chariots will be,

You shame of your master’s house.’

“So I Myself will throw your skirts up over your face,

That your shame may be exposed [publicly].

The nations have heard of your disgrace and shame,

And your cry [of distress] has filled the earth.

For warrior has stumbled against warrior,

And both of them have fallen together.

The more they multiplied [in numbers and increased in power], the more they sinned against Me;

I will change their glory into shame.

When their liquor is gone [and their drinking parties are over],

They habitually go to play the prostitute;

Ephraim’s rulers continue to dearly love shame [more than her glory which is the LORD, Israel’s God].

“Behold, I am against you,” declares the LORD of hosts,

“And I will lift up your skirts over your face,

And I will let the nations look at your nakedness [O Nineveh]

And the kingdoms at your disgrace.

“You will be filled with disgrace instead of honor.

Now drink and expose your own nakedness!

The cup [of wrath] in the LORD’S right hand will come around to you [O destroyer],

And utter disgrace will be on your own glory.
