'Instead' in the Bible

So he said to me, "All right then, I will substitute cow's manure instead of human excrement. You will cook your food over it."

Then you will know that I am the Lord, whose statutes you have not followed and whose regulations you have not carried out. Instead you have behaved according to the regulations of the nations around you!'"

"'Adulterous wife, who prefers strangers instead of her own husband!

All prostitutes receive payment, but instead you give gifts to every one of your lovers. You bribe them to come to you from all around for your sexual favors!

But I refrained from doing so, and acted instead for the sake of my reputation, so that I would not be profaned before the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

The desolate land will be plowed, instead of being desolate in the sight of everyone who passes by.
