Job 35:13

Elihu Condemns Job

¹² There they cry out, but He does not answer,
because of the pride of evil men.
¹³ Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries,
and the Almighty does not take note of it—
¹⁴ how much less when you complain
that you do not see Him,
that your case is before Him
and you are waiting for Him.

Give Ear

Hear Him
