בּוּז

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;

He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded.

He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.

Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.

Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
