'Instead' in the Bible

He won't let me catch my breath; instead, he fills me with bitterness.

He strips away the authority of kings to punish and puts them in prison clothes instead.

You may say, 'God stores up a man's punishment for his children!' Instead let him repay the man himself so that he may know it!

I have hoped for good, but evil came instead; I have hoped for light, but darkness came.

Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

But then Barachel's son Elihu from Buz, one of Ram's descendants, got really angry. He was furious with Job because he had been declaring himself righteous instead of vindicating God.

Furthermore, he was furious with his three friends because they had not answered Job, but instead had condemned him.

“Surely God will not listen to an empty cry [which lacks trust],Nor will the Almighty regard it.

“Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress,Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;And that which was set on your table was full of fatness.
