'Rejected' in the Bible

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubbleAnd dry grass collapses into the flame,So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust;For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hostsAnd despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

“Inasmuch as these people have rejected the gently flowing waters of ShiloahAnd rejoice in Rezin and the son of Remaliah;

“But you have been cast out of your tombLike a rejected branch,Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword,Who go down to the stones of the pitLike a trampled corpse.

Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,“Since you have rejected this wordAnd have put your trust in oppression and guile, and have relied on them,

You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth,And called from its remotest partsAnd said to you, ‘You are My servant,I have chosen you and not rejected you.

“For the Lord has called you,Like a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit,Even like a wife of one’s youth when she is rejected,”Says your God.
