'Scolding' in the Bible

For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her.

and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been called for this very purpose, that you might inherit a blessing [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection].
