Quick answer
Wickedness never travels alone. It arrives with luggage: contempt, dishonor, reproach, an atmosphere that walks in when the wicked walk in.

The verse tracks arrivals: with the wicked comes contempt, the sneering disregard for what is holy and for other people; then dishonor, and the reproach that pours on shame. The insight is about package deals. No one welcomes wickedness intending to host its companions; they come anyway, because contempt is not a side effect of wickedness but its climate. The saying reads at every scale, household, friendship, court, culture: where wickedness gains the room, respect and dignity start moving toward the exits, and the sneer fills the space they leave.
