'Refuse' in the Bible

but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."

Therefore Yahweh's anger burns against his people, and he has stretched out his hand against them, and has struck them. The mountains tremble, and their dead bodies are as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this, his anger is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out.

He shall eat butter and honey when he knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good.

For before the child knows to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings you abhor shall be forsaken.
