And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, On these terms will I make a covenant with you, that I will put out all your right eyes, and I will lay a reproach upon Israel.

And what shall I say since Israel has turned his back before his enemy?

And when the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land hear it, they shall compass us round about and destroy us from off the land: and what will You do [for] Your great name?

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and to revile Him with the words which the Lord your God has heard; and you shall offer [your] prayer for the remnant that is found.

And I said, The thing which you do is not good; you will not so walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the Gentiles our enemies.

You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

Remember this Your creation; an enemy has reproached the Lord, and a foolish people have provoked Your name.

Repay to our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached You, O Lord.

O Lord, Your mercy is over all: let Your wrath turn away, I pray, and Your anger from Your city Jerusalem, [even] Your holy mountain; for we have sinned, and because of our iniquities, and those of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach among all that are round about us.

And the Lord answered and said to His people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.

And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; [perhaps] the Lord may do something for us; for nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.

And the Philistine said, Behold, I have defied the armies of Israel this very day: give me a man, and we will both of us fight in single combat.

For what man [is there,] who has heard the voice of the living God, speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we [have heard], and shall live?

They must certainly be borne, for they cannot ride [of themselves]. Fear them not, for they cannot do any evil, and there is no good in them.

For they themselves report about us what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true; and we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
