We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.

And what cprofit do we get if we pray to him?’

Psalms 50:16-17

eand you cast my words behind you.

Isaiah 27:11

11When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
mFor this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

Isaiah 30:9-12

9 nFor they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;
10 owho say to pthe seers, “Do not see,”
and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right;
speak to us qsmooth things,
prophesy illusions,
11leave the way, turn aside from the path,
let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”
12Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel,
Because you despise this word
and trust in roppression and perverseness
and rely on them,
