SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:13
Y aconteció que como él clamó, y no escucharon, así ellos clamaron, y yo no escuché, dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried , etc.] The Lord by the former prophets called them to repentance and obedience: and they would not hear ; his words, nor obey his voice: so they cried : when they were besieged in Jerusalem, and were carried captive into Babylon: and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts ; so as to deliver them out of the hands of their enemies; (see Proverbs 1:24-28).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-14 - God's judgements upon Israel of old for their sins, were written to warn Christians. The duties required are, not keeping fasts an offering sacrifices, but doing justly and loving mercy, which tend to the public welfare and peace. The law of God lays restraint upon the heart. But they filled their minds with prejudices against the word of God. Nothing is harder than the heart of a presumptuous sinner. See the fatal consequences of this to their fathers. Great sins against the Lord of hosts, bring great wrath from his power, which cannot be resisted. Sin, if regarded in the heart, will certainly spoil the success of prayer. The Lord always hears the cry of the broken-hearte penitent; yet all who die impenitent and unbelieving, will find n remedy or refuge from miseries which while here they despised an defied, but which they then will not be able to bear __________________________________________________________________
