Hubrizo describes subjecting people to abusive treatment, whether threatened, inflicted, or alleged in speech.

The attested verses consistently place the term in contexts of hostile treatment: people are threatened with it, suffer it, are said to inflict it, or accuse another of it; several clauses place it alongside further violence or mockery.

   In Acts 14:5, the aorist active infinitive occurs in an impulse to mistreat and stone people. In Matthew 22:6, the aorist active form follows the seizure of slaves and precedes their killing; in Luke 18:32, the future passive form stands between being mocked and being spit upon. The same hostile treatment is presented as already suffered in 1 Thessalonians 2:2 and as an accusation directed at a speaker in Luke 11:45.
