Lexicon :: Strong's G819 - atimia

“If I am wicked, woe to me!

And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.

I am filled with shame

and have drunk deeply of[fn] my affliction.

He pours out contempt on nobles

and disarms[fn] the strong.

Hide them together in the dust;

imprison them in the grave.[fn]

Cover their faces with shame

so that they will seek your name, LORD.

The wise will inherit honor,

but he holds up fools to dishonor.[fn]

He will get a beating[fn] and dishonor,

and his disgrace will never be removed.

“The one who corrects a mocker

will bring abuse on himself;

the one who rebukes the wicked will get hurt.[fn]

When arrogance comes, disgrace follows,

but with humility comes wisdom.

A gracious woman gains honor,

but violent[fn] people gain only riches.

Better to be disregarded, yet have a servant,

than to act important but have no food.

The one who works his land will have plenty of food,

but whoever chases fantasies lacks sense.

A fool’s displeasure is known at once,

but whoever ignores an insult is sensible.

Poverty and disgrace come to those

who ignore discipline,

but the one who accepts correction will be honored.

A king favors a prudent servant,

but his anger falls on a disgraceful one.

When a wicked person comes, contempt also comes,

and along with dishonor, derision.

Therefore the Lord GOD of Armies

will inflict an emaciating disease

on the well-fed of Assyria,

and he will kindle a burning fire

under its glory.

“wind you up into a ball, and sling you into a wide land.[fn] There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be ​— ​a disgrace to the house of your lord.

“Let us lie down in our shame;

let our disgrace cover us.

We have sinned against the LORD our God,

both we and our ancestors,

from the time of our youth even to this day.

We have not obeyed the LORD our God.”

Were they ashamed when they acted so detestably?

They weren’t at all ashamed.

They can no longer feel humiliation.

Therefore, they will fall among the fallen.

When I punish them, they will collapse,

says the LORD.

I will pull your skirts up over your face

so that your shame might be seen.

But the LORD is with me like a violent warrior.

Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and not prevail.

Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly shamed,

an everlasting humiliation that will never be forgotten.

“I will bring on you everlasting disgrace and humiliation that will never be forgotten.”

We are ashamed

because we have heard insults.

Humiliation covers our faces

because foreigners have entered

the holy places of the LORD’s temple.

“You must also bear your disgrace, since you have helped your sisters out.[fn] For they appear more righteous than you because of your sins, which you committed more detestably than they did. So you also, be ashamed and bear your disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.

“so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth again because of your disgrace. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’ ”

“Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: I swear[fn] that the nations all around you will endure their own insults.

I will no longer allow the insults of the nations to be heard against you, and you will not have to endure the reproach of the peoples anymore; you will no longer cause your nation to stumble.[fn] This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’ ”

“They will feel remorse for[fn][fn] their disgrace and all the unfaithfulness they committed against me, when they live securely in their land with no one to frighten them.

“They must not approach me to serve me as priests or come near any of my holy things or the most holy things. They will bear their disgrace and the consequences of the detestable acts they committed.

The more they multiplied,

the more they sinned against me.

I[fn] will change their[fn] honor into disgrace.

When their drinking is over,

they turn to promiscuity.

Israel’s leaders[fn] fervently love disgrace.[fn]

I am against you.

This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.

I will lift your skirts over your face

and display your nakedness to nations,

your shame to kingdoms.

You will be filled with disgrace instead of glory.

You also ​— ​drink,

and expose your uncircumcision![fn]

The cup in the LORD’s right hand

will come around to you,

and utter disgrace will cover your glory.
