To slander; speak evil of.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: being DEFAMED, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. ( 1 Corinthians 1:1 Jeremiah 4:11-13 )
