Genesis 16:6“Here,” said Abram, “your servant is in your hands. Do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she fled from her.Genesis 21:9But Sarah saw that the son whom Hagar the Egyptian had borne to Abraham was mocking her son,Genesis 21:10and she said to Abraham, “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with my son Isaac!”Genesis 21:11Now this matter distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son Ishmael.Genesis 21:12But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to everything that Sarah tells you, for through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.Genesis 21:13But I will also make a nation of the slave woman’s son, because he is your offspring.”Genesis 21:14Early in the morning, Abraham got up, took bread and a skin of water, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her away with the boy. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.Exodus 5:6That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:Exodus 5:7“You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.Exodus 5:8But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’Exodus 5:9Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”Exodus 5:10So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.Exodus 5:11Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”Exodus 5:12So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.Exodus 5:13The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”Exodus 5:14Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”Exodus 5:15So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?Exodus 5:16No straw has been given to your servants, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”Exodus 5:17“You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’Exodus 5:18Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”1 Samuel 1:4And whenever the day came for Elkanah to present his sacrifice, he would give portions to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters.1 Samuel 1:5But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved her even though the LORD had closed her womb.1 Samuel 1:6Because the LORD had closed Hannah’s womb, her rival would provoke her viciously to taunt her.1 Samuel 1:7And this went on year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the house of the LORD, her rival taunted her until she wept and would not eat.1 Samuel 2:3Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.Isaiah 13:16Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes, their houses will be looted, and their wives will be ravished.Isaiah 13:18Their bows will dash young men to pieces; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; they will not look with pity on the children.Matthew 26:67Then they spit in His face and struck Him. Others slapped HimMatthew 27:28They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.Matthew 27:29And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”Matthew 27:30Then they spit on Him and took the staff and struck Him on the head repeatedly.Matthew 27:31After they had mocked Him, they removed the robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.Luke 22:64They blindfolded Him and kept demanding, “Prophesy! Who hit You?”John 19:3And they went up to Him again and again, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and slapping Him in the face.
