Strong's Lexicon enubrizó: To insult, to treat shamefully, to outrage Original Word: ἐνυβρίζω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "ὑβρίζω" (hubrizō, meaning "to insult" or "to treat shamefully"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνυβρίζω, similar concepts can be found in Hebrew words like חֵרֵף (cheraph, meaning "to reproach" or "to taunt") and בָּזָה (bazah, meaning "to despise" or "to hold in contempt"). Usage: The verb ἐνυβρίζω is used to describe actions that involve insulting or treating someone with contempt and disrespect. It conveys a sense of arrogance and disdain, often involving verbal abuse or physical mistreatment. In the New Testament, it is used to depict the shameful treatment of individuals, particularly in the context of persecution or mockery. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, honor and shame were pivotal social values. Insulting or treating someone shamefully could have significant social repercussions. The concept of hubris, from which ἐνυβρίζω is derived, was a serious offense, often associated with defying the gods or social norms. In the context of early Christianity, believers often faced persecution and were subjected to insults and shameful treatment for their faith.
