Lexicon :: Strong's H5006 - nā'aṣ

The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me disrespectfully and reject Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the [miraculous] signs which I have performed among them?

“The LORD saw it, and rejected them,

Out of indignation with His sons and His daughters.

For the wicked boasts and sings the praises of his heart’s desire,

And the greedy man curses and spurns [and even despises] the LORD.

Why has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?

He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”

O God, how long will the adversary scoff?

Is the enemy to revile Your name forever?

Remember this, O LORD, the enemy has scoffed,

And a foolish and impious people has spurned Your name.

Because they had rebelled against the precepts of God

And spurned the counsel of the Most High.

They would not accept my counsel,

And they spurned all my rebuke.

And you say, “How I hated instruction and discipline,

And my heart despised correction and reproof!

A [flippant, arrogant] fool rejects his father’s instruction and correction,

But he who [is willing to learn and] regards and keeps in mind a reprimand acquires good sense.

Ah, sinful nation,

A people loaded down with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing],

Offspring of evildoers,

Sons who behave corruptly!

They have abandoned (rejected) the LORD,

They have despised the Holy One of Israel [provoking Him to anger],

They have turned away from Him.

Therefore, as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble [from straw]

And the dry grass collapses into the flame,

So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away like fine dust;

Because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts

And despised and discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“The sons of those who oppressed you will come bowing down to you [in submission],

And all those who despised you and treated you disrespectfully will bow down at the soles of your feet,

And they will call you the City of the LORD,

The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Do not treat us with contempt and condemn us, for Your own name’s sake;

Do not disgrace Your [fn]glorious throne;

Remember [with consideration] and do not break Your [solemn] covenant with us.

“They are continually saying to those who despise Me [and My word],

‘The Lord has said, “You will have peace”’;

And they say to everyone who walks after the stubbornness of his own heart,

‘No evil will come on you.’

And He has violently broken down His temple like a [fragile] garden hedge;

He has destroyed His appointed meeting place.

The LORD has caused the appointed feast and Sabbath

To be forgotten in Zion

And has despised and rejected the king and the priest

In the indignation of His anger.
