Job 30:1-10

1 “But now they ^alaugh at me,
men who are ^byounger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to set with the dogs of my flock.
2 What could I gain from the strength of their hands,
^cmen whose ^dvigor is gone?
3 Through want and hard hunger
they ^egnaw ^fthe dry ground by night in ^gwaste and desolation;
4 they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes,
and the roots of the broom tree for their food. ^{▼▼Or warmth}
5 ⁱThey are driven out from human company;
they shout after them as after a thief.
6 In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell,
in holes of the earth and of ^jthe rocks.
7 Among the bushes they ^kbray;
under ^lthe nettles they huddle together.
8 A senseless, a nameless brood,
they have been whipped out of the land.
9 “And now I have become their ^msong;
I am ⁿa byword to them.
10 They ^oabhor me; they keep aloof from me;
they do not hesitate to ^pspit at the sight of me.

Psalms 35:15-16

15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
they gathered together against me;
^qwretches whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;
16 like profane mockers at a feast, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain}
they ^sgnash at me with their teeth.

Psalms 69:12

12 I am the talk of those who ^tsit in the gate,
and the drunkards make ^usongs about me.

Matthew 27:39-44

39 And ^vthose who passed by ^wderided him, ^xwagging their heads 40 and saying, ^y“You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! ^zIf you are ^aathe Son of God, come down from the cross.” 41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, 42 ^ab“He saved others; ^ache cannot save himself. ^adHe is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. 43 ^aeHe trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” 44 ^afAnd the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

1 Corinthians 4:13

13 when slandered, we entreat. ^agWe have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, ^ahthe refuse of all things.
