'Defies' in the Bible

David asked the men who were standing near him, "What will be done for the man who strikes down this Philistine and frees Israel from this humiliation? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he defies the armies of the living God?"

Whoever oppresses the poor defies their Creator, but whoever is kind to the needy honors them.

An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.
