It is a synonym of reproach, dishonor, shame, contempt. Its root and derivation both imply the depriving of one’s good name.

In a day when it seems no one from the President to the town drunk can blush, we need a revival of ignominy.

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and

with IGNOMINY reproach (Proverbs 18:3).

IMMUTABILITY

This word is used in scripture concerning the covenant the Lord made with His people.

Im is from the Latin prefix in, the n being changed to an m in many words for easier pronunciation (see above). It is a particle of negation (to declare the negative) like the English un.

Mutable means “capable of alteration; subject to change; changeable in form, qualities, or nature.” From this we have our words mutant and mutation.

So im = not and mutable = capable of being changed.

Armed with this understanding let us read the following verses with exceeding joy.

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the

heirs of promise the IMMUTABILITY of his counsel,

confirmed it by an oath: That by two IMMUTABLE things, in

which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong

consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope

set before us: (Hebrews 6:17-18).
