22 Bible Verses about People Being Hated

and hatred for my love.

They surround me with hateful words
and attack me without cause.

and they hate me violently.

they plan to harm me.

You who tremble at His word,
hear the word of the Lord:
“Your brothers who hate and exclude you
because of Me have said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified

But they will be put to shame.”

Instead of your being deserted and hated,
with no one passing through,
I will make you an object of eternal pride,
a joy from age to age.

when they exclude you, insult you,

because of the Son of Man.
