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."
And thou shalt go to waste and be made an example and a jestingstock unto all nations whither the LORD shall carry thee.
Thou makest us to be a byword among the Heathen, and that the people shake their heads at us.
And will make them to be a reproof, a common byword, a laughingstock and shame, in all the places where I shall scatter them.
