Matthew 27:39-44
And those who passed by derided him, wagging their headsand saying,“ You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying,“ He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way.

Nehemiah 4:2-4
And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria,“ What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?”Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said,“ Yes, what they are building— if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!”Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

Job 30:1-9
“ But now they laugh at me, men who are younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.What could I gain from the strength of their hands, men whose vigor is gone?Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation;they pick saltwort and the leaves of bushes, and the roots of the broom tree for their food.They are driven out from human company; they shout after them as after a thief.In the gullies of the torrents they must dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.A senseless, a nameless brood, they have been whipped out of the land.“ And now I have become their song; I am a byword to them.

Psalms 123:3-4
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

1 Corinthians 4 9-1 Corinthians 4 13
For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, like men sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men.We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honor, but we in disrepute.To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless,and we labor, working with our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure;when slandered, we entreat. We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.
-
Psalms 44:13
You have made us the taunt of our neighbors, the derision and scorn of those around us.
