Pro 6:33 | MHM | STEP | v. 33 : A wound and dishonor shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away . The shame of adultery is indelible. It brings a wound to one’s reputation and a dishonor to one’s family. Even if the guilt is forgiven through repentance, the reproach remains and clings to one’s memory. David’s sin with Bathsheba left a permanent stain on his character and gave God’s enemies reason to blaspheme. The infamy of this sin is not easily erased.
