Clouds and darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice [are] the foundation of His throne.

Even when I cry and shout, He shuts out my prayer.

O LORD God of hosts, How long will You be angry Against the prayer of Your people?

Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for this people, for [their] good.

Then the LORD said to me, "[Even] if Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My mind [would] not [be] favorable toward this people. Cast [them] out of My sight, and let them go forth.

"Therefore it happened, [that] just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen," says the LORD of hosts.
