We are become a reproach to our neighbours
That is, those that remained; so the Jews were to the Edomites,
especially at the time of the Babylonish captivity, ( Psalms 137:7
) ,
a scorn and derision to them that are round about
us;
as the Christians in all ages have been to the men of the world,
and especially will be insulted and triumphed over when the
witnesses are slain, ( Revelation
