20 I cry H7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hear H6030 me: I stand up, H5975 and thou regardest H995 me not.
Behold, I cry out H6817 of wrong, H2555 but I am not heard: H6030 I cry aloud, H7768 but there is no judgment. H4941
O LORD H3068 God H430 of hosts, H6635 how long wilt thou be angry H6225 against the prayer H8605 of thy people? H5971 Thou feedest H398 them with the bread H3899 of tears; H1832 and givest them tears H1832 to drink H8248 in great measure. H7991
Also when I cry H2199 and shout, H7768 he shutteth out H5640 my prayer. H8605
