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

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

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

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;

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;

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

¹ Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

² but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, so that he will not hear.

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.

²² Now consider this, ye that forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver:

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.

⁴² They looked, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

⁴³ Then did I beat them small as the dust of the earth, I did crush them as the mire of the streets, and did spread them abroad.
