“In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.”
The statement that the qualified person despises the vile but honors those who fear God establishes moral discernment and proper valuation of character. The despising of the vile suggests that the qualified person makes moral judgments and refuses fellowship with the wicked. The honoring of those who fear God establishes that the qualified person recognizes and respects spiritual devotion. This verse establishes that holiness involves aligning one's valuations with God's character.
