⁴²They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not.

⁴³Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

⁴²They looked, but there was none to saue: euen vnto the LORD, but he answered them not.

¹⁸Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

¹⁵And when ye spread foorth your ^*handes, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when yee ^†make many prayers I will not heare: your hands are full of ^*†blood.

¹BEHOLD, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

²But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

¹¶ ^*Beholde, the LORDs hand is not shortened, that it cannot saue: neither his eare heauie, that it cannot heare.

¹¹¶ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

¹³Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

¹²There they crie, (but none giueth answere) because of the pride of euill men.

^13*Surely God wil not heare vanitie, neither wil the Almightie regard it.
