 This method can be used to conveniently remove a job from a queue.
 
 ```php
-// Removes 'My_Job' of queue 'default'
+// Removes job class 'My_Job' of queue 'default'
 Resque::dequeue('default', ['My_Job']);
+
+// Removes job class 'My_Job' with Job ID '087df5819a790ac666c9608e2234b21e' of queue 'default'
+Resuque::dequeue('default', ['My_Job' => '087df5819a790ac666c9608e2234b21e']);

+// Removes job class 'My_Job' with arguments of queue 'default'
+Resque::dequeue('default', ['My_Job' => array('foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2)]);
+
+// Removes multiple jobs
+Resque::dequeue('default', ['My_Job', 'My_Job2']);
 ```
 
 If no jobs are given, this method will dequeue all jobs matching the provided queue.
