Therefore do not pray for this people, and do not intercede for them to be pitied. Yes, do not pray, and do not approach Me for them, for I will not hearken [unto you].

And the Lord said to me, Pray not for this people, for [their] good:

And the Lord said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before My face, My soul could not be toward them: dismiss this people, and let them go forth.

Now therefore let Me alone, and I will be very angry with them and consume them, and I will make you a great nation.

A weeping enemy promises all things with his lips, but in his heart he contrives deceit.

Though your enemy intreat you with a loud voice, consent not: for there are seven abominations in his heart.

If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin not [leading] to death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for those who do not sin unto death. There is a sin [leading] to death. I do not say that he should ask about that.

Therefore thus says the Lord: Behold, I bring evils upon this people, out of which they shall not be able to come forth; and they shall presently cry to Me, but I will not listen to them.

If I have regarded iniquity in my heart, let not the Lord hearken [to me].

They shall go with sheep and calves diligently to seek the Lord; but they shall not find Him, for He has withdrawn Himself from them.
