SCRIPTURE

"Therefore will I also deal in wrath; 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." — Ezekiel 8:18 (ASV)

Therefore will I also deal in fury
Being provoked by such abominable idolatries, and such horrid insolence, and most contemptuous treatment: my eye shall not spare: neither will I have pity :
see (Ezekiel 5:11) (Ezekiel 7:4Ezekiel 7:9) ; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice ;
very pressingly and earnestly for help, being in great distress: [yet] will I not hear them ;
as they turned their backs on him, he will turn a deaf ear to them, and not regard their cries. The Targum is, "they shall pray before me, with a great voice, and I will not receive their prayer."
