10 They detest me and keep their distance; they do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
10 They abhor me; they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me.
10 They abhor me, they abuse me. How dare those scoundrels - they spit in my face!
10 They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
10 They despise me and won't come near me, except to spit in my face.
30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.
30 And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
30 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.
30 Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick.
30 Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.
30 And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and struck him on the head with it.
(Read Matthew 27:26-30)
Crucifixion was a death used only among the Romans; it was very terrible and miserable. A cross was laid on the ground, to which the hands and feet were nailed, it was then lifted up and fixed upright, so that the weight of the body hung on the nails, till the sufferer died in agony. Christ thus answered the type of the brazen serpent raised on a pole. Christ underwent all the misery and shame here related, that he might purchase for us everlasting life, and joy, and glory.
32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him;
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.
32 He will be handed over to the Romans, jeered at, made sport of, and spit on. Then, after giving him the third degree, they will kill him.
32 For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32 He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon.
(Read Luke 18:31-34)
The Spirit of Christ, in the Old Testament prophets, testified beforehand his sufferings, and the glory that should follow, 1 Peter 1:11. The disciples' prejudices were so strong, that they would not understand these things literally. They were so intent upon the prophecies which spake of Christ's glory, that they overlooked those which spake of his sufferings. People run into mistakes, because they read their Bibles by halves, and are only for the smooth things. We are as backward to learn the proper lessons from the sufferings, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ, as the disciples were to what he told them as to those events; and for the same reason; self-love, and a desire of worldly objects, close our understandings.

Commentary on Job 30:1-14
(Read Job 30:1-14)
Job contrasts his present condition with his former honour and authority. What little cause have men to be ambitious or proud of that which may be so easily lost, and what little confidence is to be put in it! We should not be cast down if we are despised, reviled, and hated by wicked men. We should look to Jesus, who endured the contradiction of sinners.
