When y’all spread out y’all’s palms, I will hide my eyes from y’all. When y’all increase y’all’s prayers, I will hear nothing. Y’all’s hands are full of blood.
When 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.”
Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart despaired when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
