Psalms 18:41

²⁸Then they will call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me,

⁹Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

²⁵When once the master of the house has risen up and has shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ then he will answer and tell you, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’

⁴²They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them. ⁴³Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.

¹⁴They haven’t cried to me with their heart, but they howl on their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.

⁴Then they will cry to the LORD, but he will not answer them. Yes, he will hide his face from them at that time, because they made their deeds evil.”

¹⁵When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

¹²When 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, by famine, and by pestilence.”

¹³It has come to pass that, as he called and they refused to listen, so they will call and I will not listen,” said the LORD of Armies;

¹²There they cry, but no one answers, because of the pride of evil men. ¹³Surely God will not hear an empty cry, neither will the Almighty regard it.
