(Qal) to despise, show despite toward
Strong's Number H936 matches the Hebrew בּוּז (bûz),
which occurs 12 times in 11 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
The fear of the LORD
is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks sense,
but a person with understanding keeps silent.
The one who has contempt for instruction will pay the penalty,
but the one who respects a command will be rewarded.
The one who despises his neighbor sins,
but whoever shows kindness to the poor will be happy.
Listen to your father who gave you life,
and don’t despise your mother when[fn] she is old.
As for the eye that ridicules a father
and despises obedience to a mother,
may ravens of the valley pluck it out
and young vultures eat it.
If only I could treat you like my brother,[fn]
one who nursed at my mother’s breasts,
I would find you in public and kiss you,
and no one would scorn me.
A huge torrent cannot extinguish love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If a man were to give all his wealth[fn] for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
