We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.

And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt.

Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud.

For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
