But Gaal went on to say, "Men are coming
down from the region of Tabbur-Haares, and one company is coming
by way of Elon-Meonenim." Zebul said to him, "Where now
is the boast you uttered, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve
him?' Are these not the men for whom you expressed contempt? Go
out now and fight with them." So Gaal went out at the head of
the citizens of Shechem and fought against Abimelech. [Taken from
JUDG 9:37-39]
With his shield-bearer marching before him, the
Philistine also advanced closer and closer to David. When he had
sized David up, and seen that he was youthful, and ruddy, and
handsome in appearance, he held him in contempt. [1SAM 17:41-42]
"But they were contemptuous and rebellious:
they cast your law behind their backs, they slew your prophets who
bore witness against them in order to bring them back to you, and
they were guilty of great effronteries. Therefore you delivered
them into the power of their enemies, who oppressed them. But in
the time of their oppression they would cry out to you, and you
would hear them from heaven, and according to your great mercy
give them saviors to deliver them from the power of their enemies.
As soon as they had relief, they would go back to doing evil in
your sight. Then again you abandoned them to the power of their
enemies, who crushed them. Then they cried out to you, and you
heard them from heaven and delivered them according to your mercy,
many times over." [Taken from NEH 9:26-28]
Because of them the inhabitants of Jerusalem
fled away, and she became the abode of strangers. She
became a stranger to her own offspring, and her children
forsook her. Her sanctuary was as desolate as a
wilderness; her feasts were turned into mourning, her
sabbaths to shame, her honor to contempt. Her dishonor was as
great as her glory had been, and her exaltation was turned
into mourning. [Taken from 1MACC 1:38-40]
"Like my brothers, I offer up my body and
my life for our ancestral laws, imploring God to show mercy soon
to our nation, and by afflictions and blows to make you confess
that he alone is God. Through me and my brothers, may there be an
end to the wrath of the Almighty that has justly fallen on our
whole nation." At that, the king became enraged and treated
him even worse than the others, since he bitterly resented the
boy's contempt. Thus he too died undefiled, putting all his trust
in the Lord. The mother was last to die, after her sons. [Taken
from 2MACC 7:37-41]
Relying on the strength of their walls and their
supply of provisions, the besieged treated Judas and his men with
contempt, insulting them and even uttering blasphemies and
profanity. But Judas and his men invoked the aid of the great
Sovereign of the world, who, in the day of Joshua, overthrew
Jericho without battering-ram or siege machine; then they
furiously stormed the ramparts. Capturing the city by the will of
God, they inflicted such indescribable slaughter on it that the
adjacent pool, which was about a quarter of a mile wide, seemed to
be filled with the blood that flowed into it. [2MACC 12:14-16]
I hear the whispers of the crowd; terrors
are all around me. They conspire against me; they plot
to take my life. But I trust in you, LORD; I say, "You
are my God." My times are in your hands; rescue me from my
enemies, from the hands of my pursuers. Let your face shine
on your servant; save me in your kindness. Do not let me be
put to shame, for I have called to you, LORD. Put the
wicked to shame; reduce them to silence in Sheol. Strike dumb
their lying lips, proud lips that attack the just in
contempt and scorn. [Taken from PS 31:14-19]
If an enemy had reviled me, that I could
bear; If my foe had viewed me with contempt, from that I
could hide. But it was you, my other self, my comrade and
friend, You, whose company I enjoyed, at whose side I
walked in procession in the house of God. [PS 55:13-15]
Do not cast me aside in my old age; as my
strength fails, do not forsake me. For my enemies speak against
me; they watch and plot against me. They say, "God has
abandoned that one Pursue, seize the wretch! No one will come
to the rescue!" God, do not stand far from me; my God,
hasten to help me. Bring to a shameful end those who attack
me; Cover with contempt and scorn those who seek my
ruin. I will always hope in you and add to all your praise.
My mouth shall proclaim your just deeds, day after day your
acts of deliverance, though I cannot number them all. I will
speak of the mighty works of the Lord; O GOD, I will tell of
your singular justice. [PS 71:9-16]
But he poured out contempt on princes, made
them wander the trackless wastes, Where they were diminished and
brought low through misery and cruel oppression [Taken from PS 107:39-40]
Free me from disgrace and contempt, for I
observe your decrees. [PS 119:22]
To you I raise my eyes, to you enthroned in
heaven. Yes, like the eyes of a servant on the hand of his
master, Like the eyes of a maid on the hand of her
mistress, So our eyes are on the LORD our God, till we
are shown favor. Show us favor, LORD, show us favor, for we
have our fill of contempt. We have our fill of insult from the
insolent, of disdain from the arrogant. [PS 123:1-4]
With wickedness comes contempt, and with
disgrace comes scorn. [PROV 18:3]
Yes, the just man dead condemns the sinful who
live, and youth swiftly completed condemns the many
years of the wicked man grown old. For they see the death of the
wise man and do not understand what the LORD intended for
him, or why he made him secure. They see, and hold him in
contempt; but the LORD laughs them to scorn. And they shall
afterward become dishonored corpses and an unceasing mockery
among the dead. For he shall strike them down speechless and
prostrate and rock them to their foundations; They shall be
utterly laid waste and shall be in grief and their
memory shall perish. [WISDOM 4:16-19]
Should you speak sharply to a friend, fear not,
you can be reconciled. But a contemptuous insult, a confidence
broken, or a treacherous attack will drive away any friend. [SIRACH
22:22]
These two bring grief to my heart, and the third
arouses my horror: A wealthy man reduced to want; illustrious men
held in contempt; And the man who passes from justice to sin, for
whom the LORD makes ready the sword. [SIRACH 26:19]
Because you said: The two nations and the two
lands have become mine; we shall possess them - although the LORD
was there - therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD, I will deal
with you according to your anger and your envy which you have
exercised (in your hatred) against them. I will make myself known
among you when I judge you, and you shall know that I am the LORD.
I have heard all the contemptuous things you have uttered against
the mountains of Israel: "They are desolate, they have been
given us to devour." I have heard the insolent and wild words
you have spoken against me. Thus says the Lord GOD: Just as you
rejoiced over my land because it was desolate, so will I do to
you. In keeping with your glee over the devastation of the
inheritance of the house of Israel, so will I treat you. A waste
shall you be, Mount Seir, you and the whole of Edom. Thus they
shall know that I am the LORD. [EZEK 35:10-15]
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Truly, with
burning jealousy I speak against the rest of the nations (and
against all of Edom) who with wholehearted joy and utter contempt
have considered my land their possession to be delivered over to
plunder. [Taken from EZEK 36:1-5]
See, I make you small among the
nations; you are held in dire contempt. The pride of your
heart has deceived you: you who dwell in the clefts of the
rock, whose abode is in the heights, Who say in your
heart, "Who will bring me down to earth?" Though
you go as high as the eagle, and your nest be set among the
stars, From there will I bring you down, says the LORD. [OBAD
1:2-4]
But you have turned aside from the way, and
have caused many to falter by your instruction; You have made
void the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts. I,
therefore, have made you contemptible and base before all the
people, Since you do not keep my ways, but show
partiality in your decisions. [MAL 2:8-9]
As they were coming down from the mountain, he
charged them not to relate what they had seen to anyone, except
when the Son of Man had risen from the dead. So they kept the
matter to themselves, questioning what rising from the dead meant.
Then they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must
come first?" He told them, "Elijah will indeed come
first and restore all things, yet how is it written regarding the
Son of Man that he must suffer greatly and be treated with
contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come and they did to him
whatever they pleased, as it is written of him." [MK 9:9-13]
Herod was very glad to see Jesus; he had been
wanting to see him for a long time, for he had heard about him and
had been hoping to see him perform some sign. He questioned him at
length, but he gave him no answer. The chief priests and scribes,
meanwhile, stood by accusing him harshly. (Even) Herod and his
soldiers treated him contemptuously and mocked him, and after
clothing him in resplendent garb, he sent him back to Pilate.
Herod and Pilate became friends that very day, even though they
had been enemies formerly. [Taken from LK 23:8-12]
In giving this instruction, I do not praise the
fact that your meetings are doing more harm than good. First of
all, I hear that when you meet as a church there are divisions
among you, and to a degree I believe it; there have to be factions
among you in order that (also) those who are approved among you
may become known. When you meet in one place, then, it is not to
eat the Lord's supper, for in eating, each one goes ahead with his
own supper, and one goes hungry while another gets drunk. Do you
not have houses in which you can eat and drink? Or do you show
contempt for the church of God and make those who have nothing
feel ashamed? What can I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this
matter I do not praise you. [1COR 11:17-22]
May I not seem as one frightening you through
letters. For someone will say, "His letters are severe and
forceful, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech
contemptible." Such a person must understand that what we are
in word through letters when absent, that we also are in action
when present. [2COR 10:9-11]
I implore you, brothers, be as I am, because I
have also become as you are. You did me no wrong; you know that it
was because of a physical illness that I originally preached the
gospel to you, and you did not show disdain or contempt because of
the trial caused you by my physical condition, but rather you
received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. Where now is that
blessedness of yours? Indeed, I can testify to you that, if it had
been possible, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to
me. So now have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? [GAL
4:12-16]
Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set
an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith,
and purity. [1TM 4:12]
For it is impossible in the case of those who
have once been enlightened and tasted the heavenly gift and shared
in the Holy Spirit and tasted the good word of God and the powers
of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to bring them to
repentance again, since they are recrucifying the Son of God for
themselves and holding him up to contempt. Ground that has
absorbed the rain falling upon it repeatedly and brings forth
crops useful to those for whom it is cultivated receives a
blessing from God. But if it produces thorns and thistles, it is
rejected; it will soon be cursed and finally burned. [Taken from
HEB 6:4-8]
We should not stay away from our assembly, as is
the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the
more as you see the day drawing near. If we sin deliberately after
receiving knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains
sacrifice for sins but a fearful prospect of judgment and a
flaming fire that is going to consume the adversaries. Anyone who
rejects the law of Moses is put to death without pity on the
testimony of two or three witnesses. Do you not think that a much
worse punishment is due the one who has contempt for the Son of
God, considers unclean the covenant-blood by which he was
consecrated, and insults the spirit of grace? We know the one who
said: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," and
again: "The Lord will judge his people." It is a
fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. [HEB 10:25-31]
For if God did not spare the angels when they
sinned, but condemned them to the chains of Tartarus and handed
them over to be kept for judgment; and if he did not spare the
ancient world, even though he preserved Noah, a herald of
righteousness, together with seven others, when he brought a flood
upon the godless world; and if he condemned the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah (to destruction), reducing them to ashes, making them
an example for the godless (people) of what is coming; and if he
rescued Lot, a righteous man oppressed by the licentious conduct
of unprincipled people (for day after day that righteous man
living among them was tormented in his righteous soul at the
lawless deeds that he saw and heard), then the Lord knows how to
rescue the devout from trial and to keep the unrighteous under
punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who
follow the flesh with its depraved desire and show contempt for
lordship. [2PT 2:4-10]
