Lexicon :: Strong's H5006 - nā'aṣ

The LORD said to Moses, “How long will these people despise me? How long will they not trust in me despite all the signs I have performed among them?

“will ever see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have despised me will see it.

“But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”

“When I bring them into the land I swore to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill and prosper.[fn] They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising me and breaking my covenant.

When the LORD saw this, he despised them,

angered by his sons and daughters.

So the servants’ sin was very severe in the presence of the LORD, because the men treated the LORD’s offering with contempt.

“However, because you treated[fn] the LORD with such contempt in this matter, the son born to you will die.”

For the wicked one boasts about his own cravings;

the one who is greedy curses[fn] and despises the LORD.

Why has the wicked person despised God?

He says to himself, “You will not demand an account.”

God, how long will the enemy mock?

Will the foe insult your name forever?

Remember this: the enemy has mocked the LORD,

and a foolish people has insulted your name.

because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High.

“were not interested in my counsel,

and rejected all my correction,

and you will say, “How I hated discipline,

and how my heart despised correction.

A fool despises his father’s discipline,

but a person who accepts correction is sensible.

Also, they are afraid of heights and dangers on the road;

the almond tree blossoms,

the grasshopper loses its spring,[fn]

and the caper berry has no effect;

for the mere mortal is headed to his eternal home,

and mourners will walk around in the street;

Oh sinful nation,

people weighed down with iniquity,

brood of evildoers,

depraved children!

They have abandoned the LORD;

they have despised the Holy One of Israel;

they have turned their backs on him.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw

and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,

so their roots will become like something rotten

and their blossoms will blow away like dust,

for they have rejected

the instruction of the LORD of Armies,

and they have despised

the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“So now what have I here” —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

“that my people are taken away for nothing?

Its rulers wail” —

this is the LORD’s declaration —

“and my name is continually blasphemed all day long.

The sons of your oppressors

will come and bow down to you;

all who reviled you

will fall facedown at your feet.

They will call you the City of the LORD,

Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.

Don’t disdain your glorious throne.

Remember your covenant with us;

do not break it.

“They keep on saying to those who despise me, ‘The LORD has spoken: You will have peace.’ They have said to everyone who follows the stubbornness of his heart, ‘No harm will come to you.’ ”

“Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say, ‘The LORD has rejected the two families he had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.

He has wrecked his temple[fn]

as if it were merely a shack in a field,[fn]

destroying his place of meeting.

The LORD has abolished

appointed festivals and Sabbaths in Zion.

He has despised king and priest

in his fierce anger.
