Why does disgrace come with a Rasha?

1.

R. Yonah #1: A Rasha's habit is to disgrace everyone.

2.

R. Yonah #2: This refers to verse 1. When a Rasha comes among people who come to speak counsel and Da'as, not only does he not listen to another, and only wants to reveal his heart - he also disgraces others' words. A Rasha is worse than a Kesil. Sometimes it says 'Rasha' regarding a Rasha Ra (one who harms people via theft, extortion, Leshon ha'Ra, words of disgrace and lowering people's honor), e.g. "vela'Rasha Amar Elokim

2)

What does "Gam" come to include?

1.

R. Yonah: He should be ashamed of his evil. Not only is he not ashamed - he even disgraces others.

3)

What is the meaning of "v'Im Kalon Cherpah"?

1.

Rashi: Shame will come with Kalon. One who chooses Kalon and Zenus, this is shame for him!

2.

R. Yonah: With Ish Kalon is disgrace and reviling. "Cherpah" is like "Al Tir'u Cherpas Enosh" (Yeshayah 51:7). A disgraced person reviles and disgraces everyone. The verse teaches that there are two groups that disgrace everyone - Resha'im and lowly commoners. Who is honored? One who honors people (Avos 4:1).

3.

Malbim: If a Rasha finds Kalon (shame, in another), he brings Cherpah with it. Kalon is the opposite of honor. A Rasha's habit is to disgrace honored people, and revile the lowly with Cherpah.
