contempt, object of scorn
A noun denoting contempt or the state of being scorned, appearing in Nehemiah's prayer responding to mockery from opponents. The builders of Jerusalem's wall had become "an object of contempt" to their enemies. The term captures both the act of despising and the condition of being despised. Derived from the verb buz (to despise), it expresses the humiliation and scorn heaped upon the vulnerable Jewish community attempting reconstruction.
