   What does the term 'scorn' mean in the Bible?

   • In the Bible, the term 'scorn' is translated from various Hebrew words. In Habakkuk 1:10 (King James Version), the word micchaq is used, which means 'an object of laughter,' or 'laughing-stock.' In Psalm 44:13 and Psalm 79:4, the word la`agh is used, which is probably derived from a root meaning 'to stutter,' or 'stammer.' For this, a better English equivalent would be 'mocking'.
