'Spite' in the Bible

“If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,

“And if in spite of this you do not obey Me but act with hostility toward Me,

Yet in spite of this, while they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or abhor them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them, since I am Yahweh their God.
