'Despise' in the Bible

The Israelites hate anyone who arbitrates at the city gate; they despise anyone who speaks honestly.

"I absolutely despise your festivals! I get no pleasure from your religious assemblies!

The sovereign Lord confirms this oath by his very own life. The Lord, the God who commands armies, is speaking: "I despise Jacob's arrogance; I hate their fortresses. I will hand over to their enemies the city of Samaria and everything in it."
