Lexicon :: Strong's H3988 - mā'as

“For rebellion ^H4805 is as reprehensible as the sin ^H2403 of divination ^H7081,

And insubordination ^H6484 is as reprehensible as false ^H205 religion ^H205 and idolatry ^H8655.

Since ^H3282 you have rejected ^H3988 the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068,

He has also rejected ^H3988 you from being king ^H4428.”

Now the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to Samuel ^H8050, “How ^H4970 long ^H5704 are you going to mourn ^H56 for [fn]Saul ^H7586, since I have rejected ^H3988 him from being ^H4427 king ^H4427 over ^H5921 Israel ^H3478? Fill ^H4390 your horn ^H7161 with oil ^H8081 and go ^H1980; I will send ^H7971 you to Jesse ^H3448 the Bethlehemite ^H1022, because ^H3588 I have chosen ^H7200 a king ^H4428 for Myself among his sons ^H1121.”

“Behold ^H2009, happy ^H835 is the person ^H582 whom God ^H433 disciplines ^H3198,

So do not reject ^H3988 the discipline ^H4148 of [fn]the Almighty ^H7706.

“My flesh ^H1320 is clothed ^H3847 with maggots ^H7415 and a crust ^H1487 of dirt ^H6083,

My skin ^H5785 hardens ^H7280 and [fn]oozes ^H4549.

“I [fn]waste ^H3988 away ^H3988; I will not live ^H2421 forever ^H5769.

Leave ^H2308 me alone ^H4480, for my days ^H3117 are only a breath ^H1892.

“Behold ^H2005, God ^H410 will not reject ^H3988 a person of integrity ^H8535,

Nor ^H3808 will He [fn]help ^H2388 H3027 evildoers ^H7489.

“I am guiltless ^H8535;

I do not take ^H3045 notice ^H3045 of myself ^H5315;

I reject ^H3988 my life ^H2416.

‘Is it [fn]right ^H2896 for You indeed ^H3588 to oppress ^H6231,

To reject ^H3988 the work ^H3018 of Your hands ^H3709,

And [fn]to look ^H3313 favorably ^H3313 on the plan ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563?

“Even ^H1571 young ^H5759 children ^H5759 despise ^H3988 me;

I stand ^H6965 up ^H6965 and they speak ^H1696 against me.

“But now ^H6258 those ^H6810 who are younger ^H6810 H3117 than ^H4480 I mock ^H7832 me,

Whose ^H834 fathers ^H1 I refused ^H3988 to put ^H7896 with the dogs ^H3611 of my flock ^H6629.

“If ^H518 I have rejected ^H3988 the claim ^H4941 of my male ^H5650 or female ^H519 slaves ^H519 H5650

When they filed ^H7379 a ^H7379 complaint ^H7379 against ^H5973 me,

“Shall God repay ^H7999 on your terms ^H5973, because ^H3588 you have rejected ^H3988 His?

For you must choose ^H977, and not I;

Therefore declare ^H1696 what ^H4100 you know ^H3045.

“Behold ^H2005, God ^H410 is mighty ^H3524 but does not reject ^H3988 anyone;

He is mighty ^H3524 in strength ^H3581 of understanding ^H3820.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I retract ^H3988,

And I repent ^H5162, sitting on dust ^H6083 and ashes ^H665.”

A despicable ^H3988 person ^H3988 is despised ^H959 in his eyes ^H5869,

But he honors ^H3513 those who fear ^H3372 the LORD ^H3068;

He takes ^H7650 an ^H7650 oath ^H7650 to his own detriment ^H7489, and does not change ^H4171;

He plans ^H2803 wickedness ^H205 on his bed ^H4904;

He sets ^H3320 himself on a path ^H1870 that is not good ^H2896;

He does not reject ^H3988 evil ^H7451.

They were in great ^H6343 [fn]fear ^H6343 there ^H8033, where no ^H3808 [fn]fear ^H6343 had been ^H1961;

For God ^H430 scattered ^H6340 the bones ^H6106 of [fn]him who encamped ^H2583 against you;

You put ^H954 them to ^H954 shame ^H954, because ^H3588 God ^H430 had rejected ^H3988 them.

May they flow ^H3988 away like ^H3644 water ^H4325 that runs ^H1980 off ^H1980;

When he [fn]aims ^H1869 his arrows ^H2671, may they be as [fn]headless ^H4135 shafts ^H4135.

When God ^H430 heard ^H8085 them, He [fn]was filled ^H5674 with ^H5674 wrath ^H5674

And He utterly ^H3966 rejected ^H3988 Israel ^H3478;

He also rejected ^H3988 the tent ^H168 of Joseph ^H3130,

And did not choose ^H977 the tribe ^H7626 of Ephraim ^H669,

But You have rejected ^H2186 and refused ^H3988,

You have been ^H5674 full ^H5674 of ^H5674 wrath ^H5674 [fn]against ^H5973 Your anointed ^H4899.

Then they rejected ^H3988 the pleasant ^H2532 land ^H776;

They did not believe ^H539 His word ^H1697,

A stone ^H68 which the builders ^H1129 rejected ^H3988

Has become ^H1961 the [fn]chief ^H7218 cornerstone ^H6438.

My son ^H1121, do not reject ^H3988 the [fn]discipline ^H4148 of the LORD ^H3068

Or loathe ^H6973 His rebuke ^H8433,

One who neglects ^H6544 discipline ^H4148 rejects ^H3988 himself ^H5315,

But one who listens ^H8085 to a rebuke ^H8433 acquires ^H7069 [fn]understanding ^H3820.

Therefore ^H3651, as a tongue ^H3956 of fire ^H784 consumes ^H398 stubble ^H7179,

And dry ^H2842 grass ^H2842 collapses ^H7503 in the flame ^H3852,

So their root ^H8328 will become ^H1961 like rot ^H4716, and their blossom ^H6525 [fn]blow ^H5927 away ^H5927 like dust ^H80;

For they have rejected ^H3988 the Law ^H8451 of the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635,

And discarded ^H5006 the word ^H565 of the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478.

“Inasmuch ^H3282 H3588 as these ^H2088 people ^H5971 have rejected ^H3988 the gently ^H328 flowing ^H1980 waters ^H4325 of Shiloah ^H7975

And rejoice ^H4885 in Rezin ^H7526 and the son ^H1121 of Remaliah ^H7425;

Therefore ^H3651 this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478 says ^H559:

“Since ^H3282 you have rejected ^H3988 this ^H2088 word ^H1697

And have put ^H982 your trust ^H982 in oppression ^H6233 and crookedness ^H3868, and have relied ^H8172 on them,

The highways ^H4546 are ^H8074 desolate ^H8074, [fn]the traveler ^H5674 has ceased ^H7673,

He has broken ^H6565 the covenant ^H1285, he has despised ^H3988 the cities ^H5892,

He has no ^H3808 regard ^H2803 for mankind ^H582.

One who walks ^H1980 righteously ^H6666 and speaks ^H1696 with integrity ^H4339,

One who rejects ^H3988 [fn]unjust ^H1215 H4642 gain ^H1215

And shakes ^H5287 his hands ^H3709 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 they hold ^H8551 no ^H4480 bribe ^H7810;

One who stops ^H331 his ears ^H241 from hearing ^H8085 about bloodshed ^H1818

And shuts ^H6105 his eyes ^H5869 from looking ^H7200 at ^H7200 evil ^H7451;

You whom ^H834 I have [fn]taken ^H2388 from the ends ^H7098 of the earth ^H776

And called ^H7121 from its remotest ^H678 parts ^H678,

And said ^H559 to you, ‘You are My servant ^H5650,

I have chosen ^H977 you and have not rejected ^H3988 you.

“For the LORD ^H3068 has called ^H7121 you,

Like a wife ^H802 forsaken ^H5800 and grieved ^H6087 in spirit ^H7307,

Even like a wife ^H802 of one’s youth ^H5271 when ^H3588 she is rejected ^H3988,”

Says ^H559 your God ^H430.

“From this ^H2088 place as ^H1571 well ^H1571 you will go ^H3318 out ^H3318

With your hands ^H3027 on your head ^H7218;

For the LORD ^H3068 has rejected ^H3988 those in whom ^H4009 you trust ^H4009,

And you will not prosper ^H6743 with them.”

And you, desolate ^H7703 one, what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213?

Although ^H3588 you dress ^H3847 in scarlet ^H8144,

Although ^H3588 you adorn ^H5710 yourself with jewelry ^H5716 of gold ^H2091,

Although ^H3588 you enlarge ^H7167 your eyes ^H5869 with makeup ^H6320,

In vain ^H7723 you make ^H3302 yourself beautiful ^H3302.

Your [fn]lovers ^H5689 despise ^H3988 you;

They seek ^H1245 your life ^H5315.
