'Rather' in the Bible

But I am not really the one being troubled!" says the Lord. "Rather they are bringing trouble on themselves to their own shame!

However, I will leave some of these wicked people alive and banish them to other places. But wherever these people who survive may go, they will wish they had died rather than lived," says the Lord who rules over all.

Rather, each person will die for his own sins. The teeth of the person who eats the sour grapes will themselves grow numb.
