Let me

Now leave Me alone, so that My anger can burn against them and I can destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”

Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.

Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of these people.

Then the Lord said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My compassions would not reach out to these people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.

Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’

He then told them a parable on the need for them to pray always and not become discouraged:

“You stiff-necked people with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are always resisting the Holy Spirit; as your ancestors did, so do you.

Blot

The Lord will not be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that person, and every curse written in this scroll will descend on him. The Lord will blot out his name under heaven,

Now if You would only forgive their sin. But if not, please erase me from the book You have written.”

You have rebuked the nations:
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have erased their name forever and ever.

Let the line of his descendants be cut off;
let their name be blotted out in the next generation.

The remembrance of the righteous is a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.

In the same way, the victor will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before My Father and before His angels.

Even after they had cast an image of a calf
for themselves and said,
“This is your God who brought you out of Egypt,”
and they had committed terrible blasphemies,

At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped the cast metal image.
