⁴⁵ And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.

²⁰ I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

² O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
