³ With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And with shame -- reproach.

³⁰ And the anger of Saul burneth against Jonathan, and he saith to him, `Son of a perverse rebellious woman! have I not known that thou art fixing on the son of Jesse to thy shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of thy mother?

⁴ in which they think it strange -- your not running with them to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil,

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building `it', save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

¹⁶ In the multiplying of the wicked transgression multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look.

¹⁰ Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife and shame cease.

² Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly `is' wisdom.

³ Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been filled with contempt,

⁴ Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant!

²⁰ Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.

⁹ For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.

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

¹⁴ if ye be reproached in the name of Christ -- happy `are ye', because the Spirit of glory and of God upon you doth rest; in regard, indeed, to them, he is evil-spoken of, and in regard to you, he is glorified;
