Psalms 44:14

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

Ver. 14. Thou makest us a byword among the heathen] Who use to say, As base as a Jew, as wretched as an Israelite, &c. The Turks at this day say, Iudaeus sim si fallam, If I be not as good as my word, count me a very Jew. We use to say, As hard hearted as a Jew. Thus is fulfilled that which was threatened Deuteronomy 28:37 1Ki 9:7 Jeremiah 24:9 .
