Hebrew millah (Job 30:9), a word or speech, and hence object of talk; Hebrew mashal (Ps 44:14), a proverb or parable. When it denotes a sharp word of derision, as in De 28:37; 1Ki 9:7; 2Ch 7:20, the Hebrew sheninah is used. In Jer 24:9 it is rendered "taunt."
You'll become a desolation and a proverb, and you'll be mocked among the people where the LORD will drive you."
"Now, I've become the object of their mocking melodies; I'm nothing but a fool's proverb to them!
You made us an object lesson among the nations; people shake their heads at us.
I'll make them into a horrifying sight to all the kingdoms of the earth; into a cause for contempt, into a byword, into a taunt, and into a curse in all the places to which I drive them.
