'Yet' in the Bible

Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners,Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance].

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”—

While He had not yet made the earth and the fields,Or the first of the dust of the earth.

Give instruction to a wise man and he will become even wiser;Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

There is the one who [generously] scatters [abroad], and yet increases all the more;And there is the one who withholds what is justly due, but it results only in want and poverty.

There is one who pretends to be rich, yet has nothing at all;Another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he [in behavior—one who manipulates].He says to you, “Eat and drink,”Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost].

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],”

Even though you pound a [hardened, arrogant] fool [who rejects wisdom] in a mortar with a pestle like grain,Yet his foolishness will not leave him.

There is a generation (class of people) that is pure in its own eyes,Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

The ants are not a strong people,Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

The shephanim are not a mighty folk,Yet they make their houses in the rocks;

The locusts have no king,Yet all of them go out in groups;

You may grasp the lizard with your hands,Yet it is in kings’ palaces.

She rises also while it is still nightAnd gives food to her householdAnd assigns tasks to her maids.
