'Desist' in the Bible
Then David {thought to himself}, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me but [that] I must certainly escape to the land of [the] Philistines. Then Saul will desist from searching for me further in all of the territories of Israel, and so I will escape from his hand."
Look away from him, and let him desist until he enjoys his days like a laborer.
Do not tire [in order] to become rich; out of your understanding, [may you] desist
