Psalms 22:6-8
22:6 But I am a worm, not a man;
people insult me and despise me.
22:7 All who see me taunt me;
they mock me and shake their heads.
22:8 They say,
“Commit yourself to the Lord!
Let the Lord rescue him!
Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.”
Psalms 44:22
44:22 Yet because of you we are killed all day long;
we are treated like sheep at the slaughtering block.
Jeremiah 15:15
15:15 I said,
“Lord, you know how I suffer.
Take thought of me and care for me.
Pay back for me those who have been persecuting me.
Do not be so patient with them that you allow them to kill me.
Be mindful of how I have put up with their insults for your sake.
John 15:21-24
15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of
my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.
But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
15:23 The one who hates me hates my Father too.
15:24 If I had not performed
among them the miraculous deeds
that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
But now they have seen the deeds
and have hated both me and my Father.
