Question
Where in the Bible can I find that it says no man has the right to embarrass or insult another.

Answer
I am not sure what you mean by insult and embarrass.  I could not find either word in the KJV.  You may be using another version.  

I think you may be referring to a text you have seen in Proverbs.  I looked up the word ROD and came across a few text that may help you find an answer.  The Bible calls for correction.  I am not certain this is the answer you are looking for but this is the direction I felt you were leaning towards.  

If there is a text from another version of the Bible that you can remember I can look into this further.  



KJV Proverbs 1:1-9
1.  The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2.  To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
3.  To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
4.  To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
5.  A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
6.  To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
7.  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8.  My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9.  For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
