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

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, {and} they rebel against me.

Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

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. {make...: Heb. multiply prayer} {blood: Heb. bloods}

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

Therefore it is come to pass, {that} as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:

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

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}

Therefore will I also deal in fury: 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.

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, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear {you} in pieces, and {there be} none to deliver.

They looked, but {there was} none to save; {even} unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

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

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

The LORD {is} far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. {to escape: Heb. to go forth of}

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume {it} upon your lusts. {lusts: or, pleasures}

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

And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
