- a reproach:
- "I was¹ a reproachª among all¹¹ mine enemies,ª° but especiallyª among my neighbours,ª and a fearª to mine acquaintance:ª° they that did seeª° me withoutª fledª° from¹ me. ... For¹ I have heardª° the slanderª of many:ª fearª [was] on every side:ª¹ while they took counselª° togetherª against¹ me, they devisedª° to take awayª° my life.ª" {Psa 31:11-13} + "But in mine adversityª they rejoiced,ª° and gathered themselves together:ª° [yea], the abjectsª gathered themselves togetherª° against¹ me, and I knewª° [it] not;¹ they did tearª° [me], and ceasedª° not:¹ ... With hypocriticalª mockersª in feasts,ª they gnashedª° upon¹ me with their teeth.ª" {Psa 35:15-16} + "For¹ the zealª of thine houseª hath eaten me up;ª° and the reproachesª of them that reproachedª° thee are fallenª° upon¹ me. ... They that sit¹ in²° the gateª speakª° against me; and I [was] the songª of the drunkards.ªª°" {Psa 69:9-12} + "Thou¹ hast knownª° my reproach,ª and my shame,ª and my dishonour:ª mine adversariesª° [are] all¹ before¹ thee. ...
