⁹ Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

⁴ Then shall they cry unto Jehovah, but he will not answer them; yea, he will hide his face from them at that time, according as they have wrought evil in their doings.

¹² When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

¹⁵ And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

²⁸ Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:

⁴¹ They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

¹² There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.

¹³ Surely God will not hear an empty `cry', Neither will the Almighty regard it.

¹³ And it is come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of hosts;

¹⁸ Therefore will I also deal in wrath; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

¹¹ Therefore thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and they shall cry unto me, but I will not hearken unto them.

¹⁸ If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear:

³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend `it' in your pleasures.

³¹ We know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and do his will, him he heareth.

²⁵ When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, open to us; and he shall answer and say to you, I know you not whence ye are;

¹⁴ And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.

⁹ He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.

⁷ When he is judged, let him come forth guilty; And let his prayer be turned into sin.
