They look, but there is no one to save them —

they look to the LORD, but he does not answer them.

When they had warned him day after day and he still would not listen to them, they told Haman in order to see if Mordecai’s actions would be tolerated, since he had told them he was a Jew.

Call out! Will anyone answer you?

Which of the holy ones will you turn to?

If one wanted to take him to court,

he could not answer God[fn] once in a thousand times.

How then can I answer him

or choose my arguments against him?

If I summoned him and he answered me,

I do not believe he would pay attention to what I said.

Then call, and I will answer,

or I will speak, and you can respond to me.

You would call, and I would answer you.

You would long for the work of your hands.

I call for my servant, but he does not answer,

even if I beg him with my own mouth.

Can you command[fn] the clouds

so that a flood of water covers you?

Foreigners submit to me cringing;

as soon as they hear they obey me.

“Since I called out and you refused,

extended my hand and no one paid attention,

listening closely[fn] to wisdom

and directing your heart to understanding;

Doesn’t wisdom call out?

Doesn’t understanding make her voice heard?

A person takes joy in giving an answer;[fn]

and a timely word ​— ​how good that is!

A wicked person listens to malicious talk;[fn]

a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

in order to teach you true and reliable words,

so that you may give a dependable report[fn]

to those who sent you?

Someone burdened by bloodguilt[fn]

will be a fugitive until death.

Let no one help him.

If a ruler listens to lies,

all his officials will be wicked.

A servant cannot be disciplined by words;

though he understands, he doesn’t respond.

In my bed at night[fn]

I sought the one I love;

I sought him, but did not find him.[fn]

I opened to my love,

but my love had turned and gone away.

My heart sank[fn] because he had left.[fn]

I sought him, but did not find him.

I called him, but he did not answer.

But they will swoop down

on the Philistine flank to the west.

Together they will plunder the people of the east.

They will extend their power over Edom and Moab,

and the Ammonites will be their subjects.

Those who are confused will gain understanding,

and those who grumble will accept instruction.

Why was no one there when I came?

Why was there no one to answer when I called?

Is my arm too weak to redeem?

Or do I have no power to rescue?

Look, I dry up the sea by my rebuke;

I turn the rivers into a wilderness;

their fish rot because of lack of water

and die of thirst.

“I will destine you for the sword,

and all of you will kneel down to be slaughtered,

because I called and you did not answer,

I spoke and you did not hear;

you did what was evil in my sight

and chose what I did not delight in.”

So I will choose their punishment,

and I will bring on them what they dread

because I called and no one answered;

I spoke and they did not listen;

they did what was evil in my sight

and chose what I did not delight in.

“Only acknowledge your guilt —

you have rebelled against the LORD your God.

You have scattered your favors to strangers

under every green tree

and have not obeyed me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“Let us lie down in our shame;

let our disgrace cover us.

We have sinned against the LORD our God,

both we and our ancestors,

from the time of our youth even to this day.

We have not obeyed the LORD our God.”

“These evil people, who refuse to listen to me, who follow the stubbornness of their own hearts, and who have followed other gods to serve and bow in worship ​— ​they will be like this underwear, of no use at all.

“You did more evil than your ancestors. Look, each one of you was following the stubbornness of his evil heart, not obeying me.
