Psalms 79:4

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

We are become a reproach {H2781} to our neighbours {H7934}, a scorn {H3933} and derision {H7047} to them that are round about {H5439} us.

We suffer the taunts of our neighbors, we are mocked and scorned by those around us.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to those around us.

We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.
