Bible References

Makest

We have become an object of taunting to our neighbors [because of our humiliation],
A derision and mockery to those who encircle us.

You make us an object of contention to our neighbors,
And our enemies laugh [at our suffering] among themselves.

With which Your enemies have taunted, O Lord,
With which they have mocked the footsteps of Your anointed.

I will make them a focus of ridicule and disappointment [tossed back and forth] among all the kingdoms of the earth, a [notorious] disgrace, a byword, a taunt and a curse in all places where I will scatter them.

Also I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed throughout the countries. I judged and punished them in accordance with their conduct and their [idolatrous] behavior.

Scorn

Be gracious to us, O Lord, be gracious and favorable toward us,
For we are greatly filled with contempt.

For was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head in scorn.

General references

Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Your servants [scorned, insulted, and disgraced];
How I bear in my heart the reproach of all the many peoples,

I have become the [object of] ridicule to all my people,
And [the subject of] their mocking song all the day.
