Why Cries Go Unanswered

Job 35:9-16

Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.

But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,

who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’

There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.

Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.

How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,

and further, that in His anger He has not punished or taken much notice of folly!

So Job opens his mouth in vain and multiplies words without knowledge.”
