³ When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, And with shame comes disgrace.

³⁰ Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don't I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

⁴ They think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:

³⁹ Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, "You who destroy the temple, and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!"

⁴¹ Likewise the chief priests also mocking, with the scribes, the Pharisees,{TR omits "the Pharisees"} and the elders, said,

⁴² "He saved others, but he can't save himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.

⁴³ He trusts in God. Let God deliver him now, if he wants him; for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

⁴⁴ The robbers also who were crucified with him cast on him the same reproach.

¹⁶ When the wicked increase, sin increases; But the righteous will see their downfall.

¹⁰ Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; Yes, quarrels and insults will stop.

² When pride comes, then comes shame, But with humility comes wisdom.

³ Have mercy on us, Yahweh, have mercy on us, For we have endured much contempt.

⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scoffing of those who are at ease, With the contempt of the proud.

²⁰ Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness. I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; For comforters, but I found none.

⁹ For the zeal of your house consumes me. The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

⁴ Hear, our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach on their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;

¹⁴ If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified.
