Why Cries Go Unanswered

Job 35:9-16

People cry out from under many oppressions; they cry for help from under the fist of the mighty.

But no one asks, 'Where is God my maker, who causes glad songs to ring out at night,

who teaches us more than he teaches wild animals and makes us wiser than the birds in the air?'

They may cry out, but no one answers, because of evil men's pride.

For God will not listen to empty cries; Shaddai pays no attention to them.

All the more when you say that you don't see him! Just be patient; he's considering the matter.

But now, just because he doesn't get angry and punish, does it mean he doesn't know what arrogance is?

So Iyov is being futile when he opens his mouth; he is piling up words without knowledge."
