But if you refuse to let them go, then I will plague all your territory with frogs.

But if you refuse to let them go and keep holding them,

So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and told him, “This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may worship Me.

But if you refuse to let My people go, then tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep My commands and instructions?

Then his wife Jezebel came to him and said to him, “Why are you so upset that you refuse to eat?”

I refuse to touch them;
they are like contaminated food.

Let the righteous one strike me—
it is an act of faithful love;
let him rebuke me—
it is oil for my head;
let me not refuse it.
Even now my prayer is against
the evil acts of the wicked.

The violence of the wicked sweeps them away
because they refuse to act justly.

A slacker’s craving will kill him
because his hands refuse to work.

All that my eyes desired, I did not deny them. I did not refuse myself any pleasure, for I took pleasure in all my struggles. This was my reward for all my struggles.

When you lift up your hands in prayer,
I will refuse to look at you;
even if you offer countless prayers,
I will not listen.
Your hands are covered with blood.

But if you refuse and rebel,
you will be devoured by the sword.”
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

This is why the showers haven’t come—
why there has been no spring rain.
You have the brazen look of a prostitute
and refuse to be ashamed.

Why have these people turned away?
Why is Jerusalem always turning away?
They take hold of deceit;
they refuse to return.

You live in a world of deception.
In their deception they refuse to know Me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

These evil people, who refuse to listen to Me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and worship—they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.

If they refuse to take the cup from you and drink, you are to say to them: This is what the Lord of Hosts says: You must drink!

But if you refuse to surrender, this is the verdict that the Lord has shown me:

This is what the Lord of Hosts says:

Israelites and Judeans alike have been oppressed.
All their captors hold them fast;
they refuse to release them.

Whether they listen or refuse to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.

But speak My words to them whether they listen or refuse to listen, for they are rebellious.

Go to your people, the exiles, and speak to them. Tell them, ‘This is what the Lord God says,’ whether they listen or refuse to listen.”

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you will say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says.’ Let the one who listens, listen, and let the one who refuses, refuse—for they are a rebellious house.
