Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
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:
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
