Matthew 27:39-44
Those who passed by were yelling insults at him, shaking their headsand saying,“ You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”In the same way the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him and said,“ He saved others, but he cannot save himself! He is the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.He trusts in God; let God rescue him now— if he takes pleasure in him! For he said,‘ I am the Son of God.’”In the same way even the criminals who were crucified with him taunted him.

Nehemiah 4:2-4
before his colleagues and the powerful men of Samaria and said,“ What are these pathetic Jews doing? Can they restore it by themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they ever finish it? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said,“ Indeed, even if a fox climbed up what they are building, he would break down their stone wall!”Listen, our God, for we are despised. Make their insults return on their own heads and let them be taken as plunder to a land of captivity.

Job 30:1-9
But now they mock me, men younger than I am, whose fathers I would have refused to put with my sheep dogs.What use to me was the strength of their hands? Their vigor had left them.Emaciated from poverty and hunger, they gnawed the dry land, the desolate wasteland by night.They plucked mallow among the shrubs, and the roots of the broom tree were their food.They were banished from human society; people shouted at them as if they were thieves.They are living on the slopes of the wadis, among the rocks and in holes in the ground.They bray among the shrubs; they huddle beneath the thistles.Foolish men, without even a name. They were forced to leave the land.Now I am mocked by their songs; I have become an object of scorn to them.

Psalms 123:3-4
Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt.We’ve had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.

1 Corinthians 4 9-1 Corinthians 4 13
For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to people.We are fools for Christ, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!Up to the present hour we are both hungry and thirsty; we are poorly clothed, roughly treated, homeless;we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;when we are slandered, we respond graciously. Even now, we are like the scum of the earth, like everyone’s garbage.

Psalms 44:13
You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us.
