Thematic Bible: Exposing himself to reproach and contempt
Thematic Bible
Humility of Christ » Exhibited in his » Exposing himself to reproach and contempt
For zeal for Your house has consumed me,
And the [mocking] insults of those who insult You have fallen on me.
He was despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and pain and acquainted with grief;
And like One from whom men hide their faces
He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or esteem Him.
But I am [treated as] a worm [insignificant and powerless] and not a man;
I am the scorn of men and despised by the people.
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written [in Scripture], “The reproaches of those who reproached You (the Father) fell on Me (the Son).”
