Prayers Shut Out
Lamentations 3:8
Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.


Or shutteth His ear to my prayer. This was very grievous to any good heart; more than it could be to fully, a stranger to the true God, who yet bewaileth the matter to his brother in these words: "I would pray to the gods for those things; but that, alas! they have given over to hear my prayers."

(J. Trapp.)
