I will hide

Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?’

“Why do You hide Your face
And consider me Your enemy?

When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—

There is no one who calls on Your name,
Who arouses himself to take hold of You;
For You have hidden Your face from us
And have delivered us into the power of our iniquities.

‘Like an east wind I will scatter them
Before the enemy;
I will show them My back and not My face

In the day of their calamity.’”

Though they bring up their children,
Yet I will bereave them until not a man is left.
Yes, woe to them indeed when I depart from them!

“

They have acted corruptly toward Him,

They are not His children, because of their defect;

But are a perverse and crooked generation.

“I have spread out My hands all day long to a rebellious people,
Who walk in the way which is not good, following their own thoughts,

“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places, who call out to the other children,

“To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

Children

They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, O Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, put your trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.”

and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you will not believe, you surely shall not last.”’”

For this is a rebellious people, false sons,
Sons who refuse to listen
To the instruction of the Lord;

And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”

And He *answered them and *said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!”

I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?”

and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
