SCRIPTURE

"and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:" — Hebrews 11:36 (ASV)

And others had trial of cruel mockings
As Samson by the Philistines; Elisha by the children, whom the bears devoured; Jeremiah by Pashur, and others; the Jews by Sanballat and Tobiah, when building the temple; the prophets, whom God sent to the Jews, as his messengers, (Judges 16:25–28) (2 Kings 2:23 2 Kings 2:24) (Jeremiah 20:7Jeremiah 20:8) (4:1-6) (2 Chronicles 36:15 2 Chronicles 36:16) .

and scourgings ;
or smitings, as Jeremiah and Micaiah, (Jeremiah 20:22) (2 Chronicles 18:23 2 Chronicles 18:24) .

yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment ;
as Joseph, Samson, and Jeremiah, (Genesis 39:20) (Judges 16:21) (Jeremiah 20:2) (37:15) . Now of these things they had trial, or experience; their graces were tried by them, and they patiently endured them.
